It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was dying, there were men in the house among whom was 'Umar bin Al-Khattab. The Prophet (s.a.w) said: 'Come, let me dictate for you a document after which you will not go astray.' 'Umar said: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) is overcome with pain, and you have the Qur'an; the Book of Allah is sufficient for us.' The people in the house disagreed, and they argued. Some of them said: 'Come close and let the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) dictate for you a document after which you will not go astray.' Others agreed with what 'Umar said. When their idle talk and argument in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) became too much, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Get up and leave.'" 'Ubaidullah said: "Ibn 'Abbas used to say: 'What a calamity it was when the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was prevented from dictating that document for them because of their disagreement and noise."'

وَحَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ - قَالَ عَبْدٌ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ - أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِىِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ لَمَّا حُضِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَفِى الْبَيْتِ رِجَالٌ فِيهِمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « هَلُمَّ أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لاَ تَضِلُّونَ بَعْدَهُ ». فَقَالَ عُمَرُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَدْ غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَجَعُ وَعِنْدَكُمُ الْقُرْآنُ حَسْبُنَا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ. فَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ فَاخْتَصَمُوا فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ قَرِّبُوا يَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- كِتَابًا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ. وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ مَا قَالَ عُمَرُ. فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرُوا اللَّغْوَ وَالاِخْتِلاَفَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « قُومُوا ». قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ فَكَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الرَّزِيَّةَ كُلَّ الرَّزِيَّةِ مَا حَالَ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنِ اخْتِلاَفِهِمْ وَلَغَطِهِمْ.
