Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2264b
"عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ: تُوُفِّى رَسُولُ اللَّه ﷺ فَقَالُوا: إِنَّمَا عُرجَ بِرُوحِ مُوسَى ()، وَقَامَ عُمَرُ خَطِيبًا يُوعِدُ المُنَافِقِينَ، وَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسولَ اللَّه ﷺ لَمْ يَمُتْ وَلَكِنْ إنَّمَا عُرجَ بِرُوحه كَمَا عُرجَ بِرُوحِ مُوسَى، لَا يَمُوتُ رَسولُ اللَّه ﷺ حتَّى يَقطَعَ أَيْدِى أَقْوَامٍ وَأَلْسِنتَهُمْ، فَمَا زَالَ عُمَرُ يتكَلَّمُ حَتَّى أَزْبَدَ شِدقَاهُ، فَقَالَ العَباسُ: إِنَّ رَسولَ اللَّه ﷺ يَأسَنُ كَمَا يَأسَنُ البَشَرُ، وإِنَّ رَسولَ اللَّه قَدْ مَاتَ فَادْفِنُوا صَاحِبَكُم، أيُمِيتُ أحَدَكُمْ إِمَاتَةً ويمِيتُهُ إِمَاتَتْينِ؟ هُوَ أَكْرَمُ عَلَى اللَّه مِن ذَلِكَ، فإِنْ كَانَ كَما تَقُولُونَ فَليْسَ عَلَى اللَّه بِعَزِيزٍ أَنْ يَبْحَثَ عَنْهُ التُّرَابَ فُيُخْرِجَهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّه، مَا مَاتَ حَتَّى تَرَكَ السَّبِيلَ نَهجًا وَاضِحًا، أَحَلَّ الحَلَالَ، وَحَرَّمَ الحَرَام، فَنَكَحَ وَطَلَقَ، وحَارَبَ وَسَالَمَ، وَمَا كَانَ رَاعِى غَنَمٍ يَتبَعُ بِهَا صَاحِبُهَا رُءُوسَ الْجبَالِ يَخْبِطُ عَلَيْهَا العضاة بِمِخْبَطِهِ وَيَمْدُدُ حَوْضَهَا بِيَدِهِ بأَنْصَبَ وَلَا أَدْأَبَ مِنْ رَسولِ اللَّه ﷺ فِيْكُمْ".

"Narrated from 'Ikrimah who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, and they said: 'Only the soul of Musa was taken up ()'. 'Umar stood up delivering a sermon, threatening the hypocrites, and said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has not died, but only his soul has been taken up, just as the soul of Musa was taken up. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ will not die until he cuts off the hands and tongues of some people.' 'Umar kept speaking until the corners of his mouth foamed. Then al-'Abbas said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ aged as humans age, and the Messenger of Allah has indeed died, so bury your companion. Will Allah cause one of you to die once and cause him to die twice? He is more honored by Allah than that. If it is as you say, it is not difficult for Allah to have the earth searched for him and bring him out, if Allah wills. He did not die until he left the path clear and evident, making lawful what is lawful and unlawful what is unlawful, marrying and divorcing, fighting and making peace. He was not a shepherd herding his flock over mountain tops, beating the trees with his stick and drawing water for them with his hand, more tired or more weary than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ among you.'"
