حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ عَنْ إِسْمَعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أُمِّهِ سُعْدَی الْمُرِّيَّةِ قَالَتْ مَرَّ عُمَرُ بِطَلْحَةَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ مَا لَکَ کَئِيبًا أَسَائَتْکَ إِمْرَةُ ابْنِ عَمِّکَ قَالَ لَا وَلَکِنْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ کَلِمَةً لَا يَقُولُهَا أَحَدٌ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ إِلَّا کَانَتْ نُورًا لِصَحِيفَتِهِ وَإِنَّ جَسَدَهُ وَرُوحَهُ لَيَجِدَانِ لَهَا رَوْحًا عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ فَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ حَتَّی تُوُفِّيَ قَالَ أَنَا أَعْلَمُهَا هِيَ الَّتِي أَرَادَ عَمَّهُ عَلَيْهَا وَلَوْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ شَيْئًا أَنْجَی لَهُ مِنْهَا لَأَمَرَهُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3795
It was narrated from Yahya bin Talhah that his mother Su'da AI-Murriyyah said: "Umar bin Khattab passed by Talhah, after the Messenger of Allah(saw) had died, and said: 'Why do you look so sad? Are you upset because your cousin has been appointed leader?' He said: 'No, but I heard the Messenger of Allah(saw) say: "I know a word which no one says at the time of death but it will be light in his record of deeds, and his body and soul will find comfort in it at the time of death," – but I did not ask him about it before he died.' He ('Umar) said: "I know what it is. It is what he wanted his uncle (Abu Talib) to say, and if he had known anything that would be more effective in saving him, he would have told him to say it.": (Sahih)
