Narrated Ibn `Abbas: When Allah's Apostle was on his death-bed and in the house there were some people among whom was `Umar bin Al-Khattab, the Prophet said, Come, let me write for you a statement after which you will not go astray. `Umar said, The Prophet is seriously ill and you have the Qur'an; so the Book of Allah is enough for us. The people present in the house differed and quarrelled. Some said Go near so that the Prophet may write for you a statement after which you will not go astray, while the others said as `Umar said. When they caused a hue and cry before the Prophet, Allah's Apostle said, Go away! Narrated 'Ubaidullah: Ibn `Abbas used to say, It was very unfortunate that Allah's Apostle was prevented from writing that statement for them because of their disagreement and noise.
