حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ
أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ خَطَبَ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ، فَذَكَرَ نَبِيَّ اللهِ، وَذَكَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ دِيكًا نَقَرَنِي نَقْرَةً أَوْ نَقْرَتَيْنِ، وَإِنِّي لَا أُرَاهُ إِلَّا لِحُضُورِ أَجَلِي، وَإِنَّ أَقْوَامًا يَأْمُرُونَنِي أَنْ أَسْتَخْلِفَ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُضِيعَ دِينَهُ وَلَا خِلَافَتَهُ، وَلَا الَّذِي بَعَثَ بِهِ نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ أَقْوَامًا سَيَطْعَنُونَ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ، أَنَا ضَرَبْتُهُمْ بِيَدِي هَذِهِ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، فَإِنْ فَعَلُوا فَأُولَئِكَ أَعْدَاءُ اللهِ الْكُفَّارُ الضُّلَّالُ، فَإِنْ عَجِلَ بِي أَمْرٌ فَالْخِلَافَةُ شُورَى بَيْنَ هَؤُلَاءِ النَّفَرِ الَّذِينَ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَنْهُمْ رَاضٍ، وَإِنِّي لَا أَدَعُ بَعْدِي شَيْئًا أَهَمَّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الْكَلَالَةِ، وَمَا رَاجَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي شَيْءٍ مَا رَاجَعْتُهُ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ، وَمَا أَغْلَظَ لِي فِي شَيْءٍ مَا أَغْلَظَ لِي فِيهِ، حَتَّى طَعَنَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ فِي صَدْرِي، وَقَالَ لِي: يَا عُمَرُ، أَلَا تَكْفِيكَ آيَةُ الصَّيْفِ الَّتِي فِي آخِرِ سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ ؟ وَإِنِّي إِنْ أَعِشْ أَقْضِ فِيهِ بِقَضِيَّةٍ يَقْضِي بِهَا مَنْ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَمَنْ لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ عَلَى أُمَرَاءِ الْأَمْصَارِ، فَإِنَّمَا بَعَثْتُهُمْ لِيُعَلِّمُوهُمْ دِينَهُمْ وَسُنَّةَ نَبِيِّهِمْ وَيَعْدِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ، وَيَقْسِمُوا لَهُمْ فَيْئَهُمْ، وَيَرْفَعُوا إِلَيَّ مَا أَشْكَلَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ عَلَيْهِمْ. ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ شَجَرَتَيْنِ لَا أُرَاهُمَا إِلَّا خَبِيثَتَيْنِ: هَذَا الْبَصَلُ وَالثُّومُ، لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا وَجَدَ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ رِيحَهُمَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ، فَمَنْ أَكَلَهُمَا فَلْيُمِتْهُمَا طَبْخًا

✧ Umar b. al-Khattab delivered a Friday sermon. He mentioned the Prophet of Allah and mentioned Abu Bakr, then said: 'I saw as if a rooster pecked me once or twice, and I see that only as portending the approach of my appointed time. Some people are telling me to appoint a successor, but Allah would not neglect His religion, His caliphate, or that with which He sent His Prophet ﷺ. I know that some people will criticize this matter; I struck them with this hand of mine for the sake of Islam. If they do so, they are the enemies of Allah, the disbelievers, the misguided. If death comes to me soon, the caliphate is a matter of consultation among these individuals with whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was pleased when he passed away. I will not leave behind anything more important to me than kalala. I never went back to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about anything as much as I did about kalala, and he never spoke harshly to me about anything as he did about it, until he poked his finger into my chest and said to me: "O Umar, is the verse of summer at the end of Surah al-Nisa' not enough for you?" If I live, I will issue a ruling on it by which those who recite the Qur'an and those who do not recite the Qur'an will judge.' Then he said: 'O Allah, I call You to witness over the governors of the garrison cities, for I sent them only to teach the people their religion and the Sunnah of their Prophet, to be just with them, to distribute their booty among them, and to refer to me whatever of their affairs is unclear to them. Then you, O people, eat of two plants that I consider only impure: this onion and garlic. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he detected their odor on a man in the mosque, order him to be taken out to al-Baqi'. So whoever eats them should kill their odor by cooking.'
