Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ لَمَّا حُضِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفِي الْبَيْتِ رِجَالٌ وَفِيهِمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَلُمَّ أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَجَعُ وَعِنْدَنَا الْقُرْآنُ
حَسْبُنَا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ فَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ فَاخْتَصَمُوا فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ قَرِّبُوا يَكْتُبُ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لَا تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ وَفِيهِمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ مَا قَالَ عُمَرُ فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرُوا اللَّغْوَ وَالِاخْتِلَافَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُومُوا قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الرَّزِيَّةَ كُلَّ الرَّزِيَّةِ مَا حَالَ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْ اخْتِلَافِهِمْ وَلَغَطِهِمْ

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) — via 'Ubaydullah ibn 'Abdullah — that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was near death, and men were in the room including 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه), the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Come, let me write for you something after which you will never go astray.' 'Umar said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has been overcome by pain. We have the Quran — the Book of Allah is sufficient for us.' The people in the room disagreed and argued: some said 'Bring [writing materials] so he can write you something after which you will not go astray,' while others said what 'Umar said. When the clamor and dispute in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became excessive, he said: 'Get up [and leave].' 'Ubaydullah said: Ibn 'Abbas used to say: 'The calamity — the entire calamity — was what stood between the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his writing that letter for them, due to their arguing and noise.'
