حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ
أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ خَطَبَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، فَذَكَرَ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَذَكَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ دِيكًا نَقَرَنِي ثَلاَثَ نَقَرَاتٍ، وَإِنِّي لاَ أُرَاهُ إِلاَّ حُضُورَ أَجَلِي، وَإِنَّ أَقْوَامًا يَأْمُرُونَنِي أَنْ أَسْتَخْلِفَ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُضَيِّعَ دِينَهُ وَلاَ خِلاَفَتَهُ وَلاَ الَّذِي بَعَثَ بِهِ نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ، فَإِنْ عَجِلَ بِي أَمْرٌ فَالْخِلاَفَةُ شُورَى بَيْنَ هَؤُلاَءِ السِّتَّةِ الَّذِينَ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَنْهُمْ رَاضٍ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ أَقْوَامًا يَطْعَنُونَ فِي هَذَا الأَمْرِ أَنَا ضَرَبْتُهُمْ بِيَدِي هَذِهِ عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ، فَإِنْ فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَأُولَئِكَ أَعْدَاءُ اللَّهِ الْكَفَرَةُ الضُّلاَّلُ. ثُمَّ إِنِّي لاَ أَدَعُ بَعْدِي شَيْئًا أَهَمَّ عِنْدِي مِنَ الْكَلاَلَةِ، مَا رَاجَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي شَىْءٍ مَا رَاجَعْتُهُ فِي الْكَلاَلَةِ، وَمَا أَغْلَظَ لِي فِي شَىْءٍ مَا أَغْلَظَ لِي فِيهِ، حَتَّى طَعَنَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ فِي صَدْرِي فَقَالَ: «يَا عُمَرُ، أَلاَ تَكْفِيكَ آيَةُ الصَّيْفِ الَّتِي فِي آخِرِ سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ؟» وَإِنِّي إِنْ أَعِشْ أَقْضِ فِيهَا بِقَضِيَّةٍ يَقْضِي بِهَا مَنْ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَمَنْ لاَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ عَلَى أُمَرَاءِ الأَمْصَارِ، وَإِنِّي إِنَّمَا بَعَثْتُهُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَعْدِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ، وَلِيُعَلِّمُوا النَّاسَ دِينَهُمْ وَسُنَّةَ نَبِيِّهِمْ ﷺ، وَيَقْسِمُوا فِيهِمْ فَيْئَهُمْ، وَيَرْفَعُوا إِلَىَّ مَا أَشْكَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ. ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تَأْكُلُونَ شَجَرَتَيْنِ لاَ أَرَاهُمَا إِلاَّ خَبِيثَتَيْنِ: هَذَا الْبَصَلَ وَالثُّومَ، لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا وَجَدَ رِيحَهُمَا مِنَ الرَّجُلِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ، فَمَنْ أَكَلَهُمَا فَلْيُمِتْهُمَا طَبْخًا.

✧ Umar ibn al-Khattab delivered a sermon on Friday, and he mentioned the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and mentioned Abu Bakr. He said: I saw as if a rooster pecked me three times, and I think it only means that my appointed term is near. Some people are telling me to appoint a successor, but Allah ﷻ would not let His religion, His caliphate, or that with which He sent His Prophet ﷺ be lost. If something happens to me suddenly, then the caliphate is to be by consultation among these six with whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was pleased when he died. I know that some people will criticize this matter; I struck them with this hand of mine upon Islam. If they do that, then they are the enemies of Allah ﷻ: disbelievers, astray. Then I leave nothing after me more important to me than kalalah. I did not repeatedly consult the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about anything as much as I consulted him about kalalah, and he was not stern with me about anything as much as he was stern with me about it, until he poked his finger into my chest and said: "O Umar, is the summer verse ([Nisa 4:176](/quran:4:176)) at the end of Surat al-Nisa not enough for you?" If I live, I will judge concerning it with a ruling by which one who recites the Qur’an and one who does not recite the Qur’an will judge. Then he said: O Allah ﷻ, I call You to witness regarding the governors of the provinces: I only sent them over them so that they would act justly toward them, teach the people their religion and the Sunnah of their Prophet ﷺ, distribute their fay’ among them, and refer to me whatever of their affairs is unclear to them. Then: You, O people, eat two plants which I only regard as foul: this onion and garlic. I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he detected their odor from a man in the mosque, order that he be taken out to al-Baqi. So whoever eats them should eliminate their odor by cooking them.
