حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِى بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِىُّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِى الْجَعْدِ عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِى طَلْحَةَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ خَطَبَ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ فَذَكَرَ نَبِىَّ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَذَكَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّى لاَ أَدَعُ بَعْدِى شَيْئًا أَهَمَّ عِنْدِى مِنَ الْكَلاَلَةِ مَا رَاجَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِى شَىْءٍ مَا رَاجَعْتُهُ فِى الْكَلاَلَةِ وَمَا أَغْلَظَ لِى فِى شَىْءٍ مَا أَغْلَظَ لِى فِيهِ حَتَّى طَعَنَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ فِى صَدْرِى وَقَالَ « يَا عُمَرُ أَلاَ تَكْفِيكَ آيَةُ الصَّيْفِ الَّتِى فِى آخِرِ سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ ». وَإِنِّى إِنْ أَعِشْ أَقْضِ فِيهَا بِقَضِيَّةٍ يَقْضِى بِهَا مَنْ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَمَنْ لاَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ.

It was narrated from Ma'dan bin Abi Talhah that 'Umar bin Al-Khattab delivered a Khutbah one Friday. He mentioned the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w) and he mentioned Abu Bakr. Then he said: "I am not leaving behind me any problem more difficult than that of Kalalah. I did not ask the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) about any matter more than I asked him about Kalalah, and he never appeared to be more annoyed by my asking any question than he did regarding this matter, until he poked me in the chest with his finger and said: 'O 'Umar, is not the Verse that was revealed in summer at the end of Surat An-Nisa' sufficient for you?' If I live I will give a verdict concerning it which would enable those who read the Qur'an and those who do not read it to know about this."
