When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was approaching death, there were some men in the house, among them Umar bin Khattab. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Come, let me write for you a document after which you will never go astray."Umar said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has been overcome by pain, and we have the Quran. The Book of Allah is sufficient for us."The people in the house disagreed and quarreled. Some of them said, "Bring him what he needs so he may write for you a document after which you will not go astray." Others said what Umar had said. When their idle talk and disagreement increased in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Get up and leave."Ubaydullah said that Ibn Abbas used to say, "The calamity, the entire calamity, was what came between the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his writing that document for them, namely their disagreement and clamor."
