قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا ثُمَامَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدَةَ الْعَبْدِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ، قَالَ:

لَمَّا طُعِنَ عُمَرُ ؓ، دَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: لَا تَعْجَلُوا إِلَى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ، فَإِنْ أَعِشْ رَأَيْتُ فِيهِ رَأْيِي، وَإِنْ أَمُتْ فَهُوَ إِلَيْكُمْ، قَالُوا: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنَّهُ وَاللهِ قَدْ قُتِلَ وَقُطِعَ، قَالَ ؓ: إِنَّا لِلهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ ؓ: وَيْحَكُمْ، مَنْ هُوَ ؟ قَالُوا: أَبُو لُؤْلُؤَةَ، قَالَ ؓ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، ثُمَّ نَظَرَ ؓ إِلَى ابْنِهِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ، فَقَالَ: أَيْ بُنَيَّ، أَيُّ وَالِدٍ كُنْتُ لَكَ ؟ قَالَ: خَيْرُ وَالِدٍ، قَالَ ؓ: فَأُقْسِمُ عَلَيْكَ لَمَا احْتَمَلْتَنِي حَتَّى تُلْصِقَ خَدِّي بِالْأَرْضِ، حَتَّى أَمُوتَ كَمَا يَمُوتُ الْعَبْدُ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ ؓ: وَاللهِ، إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَيَشْتَدُّ عَلَيَّ يَا أَبَتَاهُ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَالَ: قُمْ، فَلَا تُرَاجِعْنِي، قَالَ: فَقَامَ فَاحْتَمَلَهُ، حَتَّى أَلْصَقَ خَدَّهُ بِالْأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ ؓ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ، أَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ بِحَقِّ اللهِ تَعَالَى وَحَقِّ عُمَرَ، إِذَا مُتُّ فَدَفَنْتَنِي، لمَا لَمْ تَغْسِلْ رَأْسَكَ حَتَّى تَبِيعَ مِنْ رِبَاعِ آلِ عُمَرَ بِثَمَانِينَ أَلْفًا، فَتَضَعُهَا فِي بَيْتِ مَالِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ؓ وَكَانَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَمَا قَدْرُ هَذِهِ الثَّمَانِينَ أَلْفًا، قَدْ أَضْرَرْتَ بِعِيَالِكَ، أَوْ بِآلِ عُمَرَ ؟ قَالَ ؓ: إِلَيْكَ عَنِّي يَا ابْنَ عَوْفٍ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ، فَقَالَ: يَا بُنَيَّ، وَاثْنَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا أَنْفَقْتُهَا فِي اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ حَجَّةً حَجَجْتُهَا فِي وِلَايَتِي، وَنَوَائِبَ كَانَتْ تَنُوبُنِي فِي الرُّسُلِ، تَأْتِينِي مِنْ قِبَلِ الْأَمْصَارِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ؓ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَبْشِرْ وَأَحْسِنِ الظَّنَّ بِاللهِ تَعَالَى، فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ، إِلَّا وَقَدْ أَخَذَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي أَخَذْتَ مِنَ الْفَيْءِ الَّذِي قَدْ جَعَلَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى لَنَا، وَقَدْ قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَنْكَ رَاضٍ، وَقَدْ كَانَتْ لَكَ مَعَهُ ﷺ سَوَابِقُ فَقَالَ ؓ: يَا ابْنَ عَوْفٍ، وَدَّ عُمَرُ أَنَّهُ لَوْ خَرَجَ مِنْهَا كَمَا دَخَلَ فِيهَا، إِنِّي أَوَدُّ أَنْ أَلْقَى اللهَ تَعَالَى، فَلَا تَطْلُبُونِي بِقَلِيلٍ وَلَا كَثِيرٍ. ثُمَامَةُ تَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ وَغَيْرُهُ، وَسِيَاقُ قِصَّةِ عُمَرَ ؓ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ لَيْسَ فِيهَا غَالِبُ هَذَا الْمَذْكُورِ هُنَا.

✧ When Umar ؓ was stabbed, we entered upon him while he was saying: Do not rush to this man. If I live, I will see my opinion about him; if I die, he is your affair. They said: O Commander of the Faithful, by Allah, he has been killed and cut to pieces. He said ؓ: Indeed we belong to Allah and to Him we return. Then he said ؓ: Woe to you, who is he? They said: Abu Lu'lu'ah. He said ؓ: Allah is greatest. Then he ؓ looked at his son Abdullah ؓ and said: O my son, what kind of father was I to you? He said: The best of fathers. He said ؓ: I adjure you to carry me until you press my cheek to the ground, so that I die as a slave dies. Abdullah ؓ said: By Allah, that is hard for me, O father. He said: Then he said: Get up and do not argue with me. So he got up and carried him until he pressed his cheek to the ground. Then he said ؓ: O Abdullah, I adjure you by the right of Allah, the Exalted, and the right of Umar, when I die and you bury me, do not wash your head until you sell from the properties of the family of Umar for eighty thousand and place it in the treasury of the Muslims. Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf ؓ, who was at his head, said: O Commander of the Faithful, what is the value of these eighty thousand? You have harmed your dependents, or the family of Umar. He said ؓ: Get away from me, O Ibn Awf. Then he looked at Abdullah ؓ and said: O my son, and thirty-two thousand I spent in twelve pilgrimages I performed during my governance and in needs that came to me from messengers arriving from the provinces. Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf ؓ said to him: O Commander of the Faithful, rejoice and think well of Allah, the Exalted. There is no one among us of the Muhajirun but has taken the like of what you took from the fay' that Allah, the Exalted, has assigned to us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away while pleased with you, and you have with him ﷺ prior merits. He said ؓ: O Ibn Awf, Umar wishes that he had come out of it as he entered it. I wish to meet Allah, the Exalted, and that you do not hold me accountable for little or much. Thumamah: Ali ibn al-Madini and others spoke about him. The narration of the story of Umar ؓ in the two Sahihs does not contain most of what is mentioned here.
