When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on the verge of 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 is overcome by his pain, and you have the Quran. The Book of Allah is sufficient for us."The people in the house disagreed and quarreled. Some of them said, "Come closer so that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ may write for you a document after which you will never go astray." Others repeated what Umar had said.When their idle talk and disagreement grew loud in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said, "Get up and leave."Ubaydullah said that Ibn Abbas used to say, "The real 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."
