[labbaikyaHussain]

Calamity of Thursday i.e "Pen and paper"



قال: أخبرني أبو حفص عمر بن محمد بن علي الصيرفي قال: حدثنا أبو الحسين العباس بن المغيرة الجوهري قال: حدثنا أبو بكر أحمد بن منصور الرمادي قال: حدثنا أحمد بن صالح قال: حدثنا عنبسةقال: أخبرني يونس، عن ابن شهاب، عن عبيدالله بن عبد الله بن عتبة، عن عبد الله بن العباس قال: لما حضرت النبي صلى الله عليه وآله الوفاة وفي البيت رجال فيهم عمر بن الخطاب، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: هلموا أكتب لكم كتابا لن تضلوا بعده أبدا ؟ فقال عمر: لا تأتوه بشئ فانه قد غلبه الوجع وعندكم القرآن، حسبنا كتاب الله
فاختلف أهل البيت واختصموا ، فمنهم من يقول: قوموا يكتب لكم رسول الله، ومنهم من يقول ما قال عمر. فلما كثر اللغط والاختلاف قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: قوموا عني. قال عبيدالله بن عبد الله بن عتبة: وكان ابن عباس رحمه الله يقول: الرزية كل الرزية ما حال بين رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وبين أن يكتب لنا ذلك الكتاب من اختلافهم ولغطهم

Said informed us Abu Hafs b.Muhammad b.Ali As Seerfi said "Told us Abu al Hasan al Abbas b. al Mughira al Johari (who)said "Told Abu Bakr Ahmad b.Mansur ar Ramadi (who)said "Told Ahmed b.Saleh (who)said "Told us Anmbasah (who)said: Informed us Younus, from Ibn Shihab, from Ubaidullab b. Abdullah b.Utbah, from Abdullah b. Abbas (who) said "When Prophet(PBUH) was (close to)death, and in the house were people among whom was Umar, Rasool Allah(PBUH) said "Come (shall I)write a document so you will never go astray afterwards?" Umar said "Don't obey/bring anything for pain has overtaken (him) and you have the Qur'an, book of Allah(swt) is sufficient for us." So people of the house differed and argued, some saying "Go, let Rasool Allah(PBUH) write." And some said what Umar said. When there was much confusion/chaos and disagreement, Rasool Allah(PBUH) said "Go (away) from me." Said Ubaidullab b. Abdullah b. Utbah: And Ibn Abbas used to say "Of all calamities the biggest calamity was what came between Rasool Allah(PBUH) and the writing (which he(PBUH)wanted to) write and that was the disagreement and chaos."

Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 7, Book 70, Number 573:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

When Allah's Apostle was on his death-bed and in the house there were some people among whom was 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, the Prophet said, "Come, let me write for you a statement after which you will not go astray." 'Umar said, "The Prophet 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 may write for you a statement after which you will not go astray," while the others said as Umar said. When they caused a hue and cry before the Prophet, Allah's Apostle said, "Go away!" Narrated 'Ubaidullah: Ibn 'Abbas used to say, "It was very unfortunate that Allah's Apostle was prevented from writing that statement for them because of their disagreement and noise."
