حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يَقُولُ يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ وَمَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ ثُمَّ بَکَی حَتَّی بَلَّ دَمْعُهُ الْحَصَی قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ مَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ قَالَ اشْتَدَّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَعُهُ فَقَالَ ائْتُونِي بِکَتِفٍ أَکْتُبْ لَکُمْ کِتَابًا لَا تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا فَتَنَازَعُوا وَلَا يَنْبَغِي عِنْدَ نَبِيٍّ تَنَازُعٌ فَقَالُوا مَا لَهُ أَهَجَرَ اسْتَفْهِمُوهُ فَقَالَ ذَرُونِي فَالَّذِي أَنَا فِيهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تَدْعُونَنِي إِلَيْهِ فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِثَلَاثٍ قَالَ أَخْرِجُوا الْمُشْرِکِينَ مِنْ جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَأَجِيزُوا الْوَفْدَ بِنَحْوِ مَا کُنْتُ أُجِيزُهُمْ وَالثَّالِثَةُ خَيْرٌ إِمَّا أَنْ سَکَتَ عَنْهَا وَإِمَّا أَنْ قَالَهَا فَنَسِيتُهَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ هَذَا مِنْ قَوْلِ سُلَيْمَانَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 3168
Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: 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 Apostle 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 replied, 'Leave me as I am in a better state than what you are asking me to do.' Then the Prophet 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.'
