Sahih Muslim Book - 25, Hadith - 4232

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِسَعِيدٍ - قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَحْوَلِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ وَمَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ ثُمَّ بَكَى حَتَّى بَلَّ دَمْعُهُ الْحَصَى. فَقُلْتُ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَمَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ قَالَ اشْتَدَّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَجَعُهُ. فَقَالَ « ائْتُونِى أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لاَ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدِى ». فَتَنَازَعُوا وَمَا يَنْبَغِى عِنْدَ نَبِىٍّ تَنَازُعٌ. وَقَالُوا مَا شَأْنُهُ أَهَجَرَ اسْتَفْهِمُوهُ. قَالَ « دَعُونِى فَالَّذِى أَنَا فِيهِ خَيْرٌ أُوصِيكُمْ بِثَلاَثٍ أَخْرِجُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَأَجِيزُوا الْوَفْدَ بِنَحْوِ مَا كُنْتُ أُجِيزُهُمْ ». قَالَ وَسَكَتَ عَنِ الثَّالِثَةِ أَوْ قَالَهَا فَأُنْسِيتُهَا. قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ.

It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Jubair said: "Ibn 'Abbas said: 'Thursday and what a Thursday!' Then he wept until his tears wet the pebbles. I said: 'O Abu 'Abbas, what about Thursday?' He said: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) took a tum for the worse, and he said: "Come to me and I will dictate for you a document, so you will not go astray after I am gone." But they argued (about that), and it is not appropriate to argue in the presence of a Prophet. They said: "What is the matter with him? Is he delirious? Try to find out what he means."He said: "Let me be. The state in which I am now is better. I urge you to do three things: Expel the idolators from the Arabian Peninsula, and reward the delegations as I used to do." Then he remained silent about the third, or he said it, and I was caused to forget it."' Abu Ishaq [Ibrahim] said: "Al-Hasan bin Bishr told us, Sufyan told us..." this Hadith.
