أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ وَمَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ اشْتَدَّ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَجَعُهُ فَقَالَ ائْتُونِي أَكْتُبُ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لَا تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا فَتَنَازَعُوا وَلَا يَنْبَغِي عِنْدَ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ تَنَازُعٌ فَقَالُوا مَا شَأْنُهُ أَهَجَرَ اسْتَفْهِمُوهُ فَذَهَبُوا يُعِيِدُونَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ «دَعُونِي فَالَّذِي أَنَا فِيهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تَدْعُونِي إِلَيْهِ» وَأَوْصَاهُمْ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ قَالَ «أَخْرِجُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَأَجِيزُوا الْوَفْدَ بِنَحْوِ مَا كُنْتُ أُجِيزُهُمْ»

✧ Thursday, and what a Thursday! The Prophet's ﷺ pain intensified, so he said, "Bring me, let me write for you a document after which you will never go astray." They disputed, and no dispute should occur in the presence of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ. They said, "What is his condition? Has he become delirious? Ask him." They went to repeat it to him. He said, "Leave me, for what I am in is better than what you are calling me to." And he enjoined them at his death: "Expel the polytheists from the Arabian Peninsula, and honor the delegations as I used to honor them."
