حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ لَيْثٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمَّا حُضِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ائْتُونِي بِكَتِفٍ أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ فِيهِ كِتَابًا لَا يَخْتَلِفُ مِنْكُمْ رَجُلَانِ بَعْدِي قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ الْقَوْمُ فِي لَغَطِهِمْ فَقَالَتْ الْمَرْأَةُ وَيْحَكُمْ عَهْدُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2676
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: When the Messenge of Allah (PBUH) was dying, he said: "Bring me a shoulder blade [of an animal] so that I may write a document for you, then no two men among you will disagree after I am gone." The people started debating and the woman said: Woe to you, the covenant of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH).”
