Hadith #3168
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَحْوَلِ، سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ، سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ يَقُولُ يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ، وَمَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ ثُمَّ بَكَى حَتَّى بَلَّ دَمْعُهُ الْحَصَى. قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ، مَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ قَالَ اشْتَدَّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَجَعُهُ فَقَالَ " ائْتُونِي بِكَتِفٍ أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لاَ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا ". فَتَنَازَعُوا وَلاَ يَنْبَغِي عِنْدَ نَبِيٍّ تَنَازُعٌ فَقَالُوا مَا لَهُ أَهَجَرَ اسْتَفْهِمُوهُ. فَقَالَ " ذَرُونِي، فَالَّذِي أَنَا فِيهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تَدْعُونِي إِلَيْهِ ـ فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِثَلاَثٍ قَالَ ـ أَخْرِجُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ، وَأَجِيزُوا الْوَفْدَ بِنَحْوِ مَا كُنْتُ أُجِيزُهُمْ ". وَالثَّالِثَةُ خَيْرٌ، إِمَّا أَنْ سَكَتَ عَنْهَا، وَإِمَّا أَنْ قَالَهَا فَنَسِيتُهَا. قَالَ سُفْيَانُ هَذَا مِنْ قَوْلِ سُلَيْمَانَ.
that he heard Ibn `Abbas saying, "Thursday! And you know not what Thursday is? After that Ibn
`Abbas wept till the stones on the ground were soaked with his tears. On that I asked Ibn `Abbas,
"What is (about) Thursday?" He said, "When the condition (i.e. health) of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
deteriorated, he said, 'Bring me a bone of scapula, so that I may write something for you after which
you will never go astray.'The people differed in their opinions although it was improper to differ in
front of a prophet, They said, 'What is wrong with him? Do you think he is delirious? Ask him (to
understand). The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, 'Leave me as I am in a better state than what you are asking me to
do.' Then the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered them to do three things saying, 'Turn out all the pagans from the
Arabian Peninsula, show respect to all foreign delegates by giving them gifts as I used to do.' " The
sub-narrator added, "The third order was something beneficial which either Ibn `Abbas did not
mention or he mentioned but I forgot.'
