It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the time of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) passing drew near, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Bring me writing materials so that I may write something for you after which you will never go astray.”At that time, there were many people in the house, among whom was Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him). He said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is overcome by severe pain, and you already have the Noble Qur’an with you, and the Book of Allah is sufficient for us. At this, there arose a difference of opinion among the people. Some were of the opinion that writing materials should be presented to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) so that he could dictate something to them, and some agreed with the opinion of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). When the noise and disagreement increased, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Get up from me.”Upon this, Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say: Alas! Because of the people’s disagreement and noise, the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) writing was prevented.
