When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on his deathbed, there were Some men in the house. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Come, let me write for you a document so that you will never go astray after it."Some of them said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ is overcome by pain, and you have the Quran. The Book of Allah is enough for us."The people in the house disagreed and quarreled. Some said, "Bring him what he needs so he may write for you a document after which you will never go astray," while others said the opposite. When their idle talk and disagreement grew loud, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Get up and leave."Ubaydullah said that Ibn Abbas used to say, "The real calamity, the calamity of all calamities, was what came between the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his writing that document for them, because of their disagreement and clamor."
