حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ أَمَلَّهُ عَلَيَّ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ الْغَطَفَانِيِّ عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ
أَنَّ عُمَرَ قَامَ خَطِيبًا فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَذَكَرَ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ، وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رُؤْيَا كَأَنَّ دِيكًا نَقَرَنِي نَقْرَتَيْنِ، وَلَا أُرَى ذَلِكَ إِلَّا لِحُضُورِ أَجَلِي، وَإِنَّ نَاسًا يَأْمُرُونَنِي أَنْ أَسْتَخْلِفَ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُضِيعَ خِلَافَتَهُ وَدِينَهُ، وَلَا الَّذِي بَعَثَ بِهِ نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ فَإِنْ عَجِلَ بِي أَمْرٌ، فَالْخِلَافَةُ شُورَى فِي هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّهْطِ السِّتَّةِ الَّذِينَ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَنْهُمْ رَاضٍ فَأَيُّهُمْ بَايَعْتُمْ لَهُ، فَاسْمَعُوا [لَهُ] وَأَطِيعُوا، وَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ رِجَالًا سَيَطْعَنُونَ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ، وَإِنِّي قَاتَلْتُهُمْ بِيَدِي هَذِهِ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، فَإِنْ فَعَلُوا فَأُولَئِكَ أَعْدَاءُ اللهِ الْكَفَرَةُ الضُّلَّالُ وَإِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا أَدَعُ بَعْدِي شَيْئًا هُوَ أَهَمُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْكَلَالَةِ، وَلَقَدْ سَأَلْتُ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْهَا، فَمَا أَغْلَظَ لِي فِي شَيْءٍ قَطُّ مَا أَغْلَظَ لِي فِيهَا حَتَّى طَعَنَ بِيَدِهِ، أَوْ بِإِصْبَعِهِ فِي صَدْرِي، أَوْ جَنْبِي وَقَالَ: يَا عُمَرُ، تَكْفِيكَ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي نَزَلَتْ فِي الصَّيْفِ الَّتِي فِي آخِرِ سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ. وَإِنِّي إِنْ أَعِشْ أَقْضِ فِيهَا قَضِيَّةً لَا يَخْتَلِفُ فِيهَا أَحَدٌ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ، أَوْ لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ عَلَى أُمَرَاءِ الْأَمْصَارِ، فَإِنِّي بَعَثْتُهُمْ يُعَلِّمُونَ النَّاسَ دِينَهُمْ وَسُنَّةَ نَبِيِّهِمْ، وَيَقْسِمُونَ فِيهِمْ فَيْئَهُمْ، وَيُعَدِّلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَمَا أَشْكَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ يَرْفَعُونَهُ إِلَيَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّكُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ شَجَرَتَيْنِ لَا أُرَاهُمَا إِلَّا خَبِيثَتَيْنِ هَذَا الثُّومُ وَالْبَصَلُ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَرَى الرَّجُلَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُوجَدُ رِيحُهُ مِنْهُ، فَيُؤْخَذُ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى يُخْرَجَ بِهِ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ، فَمَنْ كَانَ آكِلَهُمَا لَا بُدَّ، فَلْيُمِتْهُمَا طَبْخًا قَالَ: فَخَطَبَ بِهَا عُمَرُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَأُصِيبَ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ لِأَرْبَعِ لَيَالٍ بَقِينَ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ.

✧ Umar stood up as a preacher. He praised Allah and extolled Him, and he mentioned the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr. Then he said: 'I saw a vision as if a rooster pecked me twice. I do not think this is except for the approach of my appointed time. Some people are ordering me to appoint a successor. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, would not let His caliphate and His religion be lost, nor what He sent His Prophet ﷺ with. If something happens to me soon, the caliphate is a consultation among these six men with whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was pleased when he died. Whichever of them you pledge allegiance to, then listen to him and obey. I know that some men will criticize this matter. I fought them with this hand of mine for Islam. If they do so, they are the enemies of Allah, the disbelievers, the misguided. By Allah, I do not leave behind anything more important to me than the matter of kalalah. I asked the Prophet of Allah ﷺ about it, and he was never harsher to me about anything than he was about it, until he poked with his hand or his finger in my chest or my side and said: "O Umar, the verse that was revealed in summer, at the end of Surah al-Nisa, is sufficient for you." If I live, I will judge it with a judgement that no one who reads the Quran or does not read the Quran will differ about.' Then he said: 'O Allah, I call You to witness over the governors of the garrison cities. I sent them to teach the people their religion and the Sunnah of their Prophet, to distribute their fay' among them, and to act justly toward them. Whatever is unclear to them, they raise it to me.' Then he said: 'O people, you eat from two plants that I consider nothing but foul: this garlic and onion. I used to see a man in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ whose odour was detected, and he would be taken by the hand and led out to al-Baqi'. So whoever must eat them, let him kill their odour by cooking.' He said: Umar delivered this sermon on Friday, and he was struck on Wednesday, four nights remaining of Dhu al-Hijjah.
