When Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on his death-bed and in the house there were some people among whom was ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Come, let me write for you a statement after which you will not go astray." ʿUmar said, "The Prophet ﷺ is seriously ill and you have the Qur'an; so the Book of Allah is enough for us." The people present in the house differed and quarrelled. Some said "Go near so that the Prophet ﷺ may write for you a statement after which you will not go astray," while the others said as ʿUmar said. When they caused a hue and cry before the Prophet, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Go away!" Narrated 'Ubaidullah: Ibn ʿAbbas used to say, "It was very unfortunate that Messenger of Allah ﷺ was prevented from writing that statement for them because of their disagreement and noise." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5669)   

لَمَّا حَضَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَفِي الْبَيْتِ رِجَالٌ فِيهِمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هَلُمَّ أَكْتُبُ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا» فَقَالَ عُمَرُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَجَعُ وَعِنْدَكُمُ الْقُرْآنُ حَسْبُنَا كِتَابُ اللهِ فَاجْتَمَعُوا فِي الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ قَوْمٌ قَرِّبُوا يَكْتُبُ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا وَقَالَ قَوْمٌ مَا قَالَ عُمَرُ فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرُوا اللَّغَطَ وَالِاخْتِلَافَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُمْ «قُومُوا» قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ فَكَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ الرَّزِيَّةُ كُلُّ الرَّزِيَّةِ مَا فَاتَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ الَّذِي أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ أَنْ لَا يَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا لَمَّا كَثُرَ لَغَطُهُمْ وَاخْتِلَافُهُمْ  

There is none among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ who has narrated more Hadiths than I except ʿAbdullah bin ʿAmr (bin Al-ʿAs) who used to write them and I never did the same. (Using translation from Bukhārī 113)   

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ «مَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ أَكْثَرَ حَدِيثًا مِنِّي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْتُبُ وَكُنْتُ لَا أَكْتُبُ»  

Thursday! And how great that Thursday was! The ailment of Messenger of Allah ﷺ became worse (on Thursday) and he said, fetch me something so that I may write to you something after which you will never go astray." The people (present there) differed in this matter, and it was not right to differ before a prophet. Some said, "What is wrong with him ? (Do you think ) he is delirious (seriously ill)? Ask him ( to understand his state )." So they went to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him again. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Leave me, for my present state is better than what you call me for." Then he ordered them to do three things. He said, "Turn the pagans out of the 'Arabian Peninsula; respect and give gifts to the foreign delegations as you have seen me dealing with them." (Saʿid bin Jubair, the sub-narrator said that Ibn ʿAbbas kept quiet as rewards the third order, or he said, "I forgot it.") (See Hadith No. 116 Vol. 1) (Using translation from Bukhārī 4431)   

يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ وَمَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ اشْتَدَّ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَجَعُهُ فَقَالَ ائْتُونِي أَكْتُبُ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لَا تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا فَتَنَازَعُوا وَلَا يَنْبَغِي عِنْدَ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ تَنَازُعٌ فَقَالُوا مَا شَأْنُهُ أَهَجَرَ اسْتَفْهِمُوهُ فَذَهَبُوا يُعِيِدُونَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ «دَعُونِي فَالَّذِي أَنَا فِيهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تَدْعُونِي إِلَيْهِ» وَأَوْصَاهُمْ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ قَالَ «أَخْرِجُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَأَجِيزُوا الْوَفْدَ بِنَحْوِ مَا كُنْتُ أُجِيزُهُمْ»  

When Allah gave victory to His Apostle over the people of Mecca, Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up among the people and after glorifying Allah, said, "Allah has prohibited fighting in Mecca and has given authority to His Apostle and the believers over it, so fighting was illegal for anyone before me, and was made legal for me for a part of a day, and it will not be legal for anyone after me. Its game should not be chased, its thorny bushes should not be uprooted, and picking up its fallen things is not allowed except for one who makes public announcement for it, and he whose relative is murdered has the option either to accept a compensation for it or to retaliate." Al-ʿAbbas said, "Except Al-Idhkhir, for we use it in our graves and houses." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Except Al-Idhkhir." Abu Shah, a Yemenite, stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Get it written for me." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Write it for Abu Shah." (The sub-narrator asked Al-Auza'i): What did he mean by saying, "Get it written, O Allah's Apostle?" He replied, "The speech which he had heard from Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2434)   

لَمَّا افْتُتِحَتْ مَكَّةُ قَتَلَتْ هُذَيْلٌ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي لَيْثٍ بِقَتِيلٍ لَهُمْ مِنَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ حَبَسَ عَنْ مَكَّةَ الْفِيلَ وَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولَهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِنَّهَا لَمْ تَحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي وَلَنْ تَحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي وَإِنَّمَا أُحِلَّتْ لِيَ سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ وَإِنَّهَا سَاعَتِي هَذِهِ حَرَامٌ لَا يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا وَلَا يُخْتَلَى شَوْكُهَا وَلَا يُلْتَقَطُ سَاقِطَتُهَا إِلَّا مُنْشِدٌ وَمَنْ قُتِلَ لَهُ قَتِيلٌ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ إِمَّا يُقَادُ وَإِمَّا يُفْدِيَ» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ يُقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو شَاهٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اكْتُبُوا لِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اكْتُبُوا لِأَبِي شَاهٍ» ثُمَّ قَامَ الْعَبَّاسُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ فَإِنَّا نَجْعَلُهُ فِي مَسَاكِنِنَا وَقُبُورِنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ»
