حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَوْدِيِّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ، قَالَ:
أَنَا أَوَّلُ النَّاسِ أَتَى عُمَرَ ؓ حِينَ طُعِنَ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ احْفَظْ عَنِّي ثَلَاثًا، فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَلَّا يُدْرِكَنِي النَّاسُ، إِنِّي لَمْ أَقْضِ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ وَلَمْ أَسْتَخْلِفْ عَلَى النَّاسِ خَلِيفَةً، وَكُلُّ مَمْلُوكٍ لِي عَتِيقٌ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: اسْتَخْلِفْ، قَالَ: أَيُّ ذَلِكَ فَعَلْتُ فَقَدْ فَعَلَهُ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي ; إِنْ أَسْتَخْلِفْ فَقَدِ اسْتَخْلَفَ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي، وَإِنْ أَدَعِ النَّاسَ إِلَى أَمْرِهِمْ فَقَدْ تَرَكَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، قُلْتُ: أَبْشِرْ بِالْجَنَّةِ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، صَحِبْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَطَلْتَ صُحْبَتَهُ، ثُمَّ وَلِيتَ فَعَدَلْتَ، وَأَدَّيْتَ الْأَمَانَةَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: أَمَّا تَبْشِيرُكَ إِيَّايَ بِالْجَنَّةِ فَوَاللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ، لَوْ أَنَّ لِي مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ لَافْتَدَيْتُ بِهِ مِمَّا هُوَ أَمَامِي قَبْلَ أَنْ أَعْلَمَ الْخَبَرَ، وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَوَاللهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي نَجَوْتُ مِنْهَا كَفَافًا لَا عَلَيَّ وَلَا لِي، وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنْ صُحْبَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَاكَ

✧ I was the first of the people to come to ʿUmar ؓ when he was stabbed. He said: O Abu ʿAbbās, preserve from me three things, for I fear that people will not reach me [in time]. I have not ruled on kalāla, I have not appointed a successor over the people, and every slave I own is free. It was said to him: Appoint a successor. He said: Whichever of those I do, one better than me has done it. If I appoint a successor, one better than me appointed a successor, and if I leave the people to their own affair, the Messenger of God ﷺ left it. I said: Rejoice in Paradise, O Commander of the Faithful. You accompanied the Messenger of God ﷺ and prolonged his company, then you took charge and were just, and you delivered the trust. ʿUmar ؓ said: As for your giving me glad tidings of Paradise, by God besides whom there is no deity, if I had all that is between heaven and earth I would ransom myself with it from what is ahead of me before I learn the outcome. As for what you mentioned about the affair of the Muslims, by God I wish I had been delivered from it with neither liability nor credit. As for what you mentioned about the company of the Messenger of God ﷺ, that is so.
