حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ، وَمَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ ثمَّ بَكَى حَتَّى خَضَبَ دَمْعُهُ الْحَصْبَاءَ، فَقَالَ: اشْتَدَّ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَجَعُهُ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ، فَقَالَ: ائْتُونِي بِكِتَابٍ، أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا فَتَنَازَعُوا، وَلَا يَنْبَغِي عِنْدَ نَبِيٍّ تَنَازُعٌ فَقَالُوا: هَجَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: دَعُونِي فَالَّذِي أَنَا فِيهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تَدْعُونِي إِلَيْهِ وَأَوْصى عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ بِثَلَاثٍ: أَخْرِجُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ، وَأَجِيزُوا الْوَفْدَ بِنَحْوِ مَا كُنْتُ أُجِيزُهُمْ وَنَسِيتُ الثَّالِثَةَ.

Sa'îd bin Jubair Narrated from:

Ibn 'Abbâs رضي الله عنهما said, "Thursday! What (great thing) took place on Thursday!" Then he started weeping till the gravels of the ground were wet with his tears. Then he said, "On Thursday the illness of Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم was aggravated and he said, 'Bring for me (writing) paper and I will write for you a statement after which you will never go astray.'The people (present there) differed in this matter, and people should not differ before a Prophet. They said, 'Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم is seriously sick.' The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, 'Let me alone, as the state in which I am now is better than what you are calling me for.'The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم on his deathbed, gave three orders saying, 'Expel Al-Mushrikîn (pagans idolators disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh تعالى and His Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ) from the Arabian Peninsula, respect and give gifts to the foreign delegates as you have seen me dealing with them.' I forgot the third (order) [1] ." ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 288, Vol. 4 )1. To act on the orders of the Qur'ân.2. To equip the army-unit under the command of Usâma رضي الله عنه .3. To not to take the Prophet's grave as a place of worship, and 4. To offer As-Salât (the prayers) perfectly and regularly and to be good to your slaves (what your right hand possesses). Fath Al-Bârî , Vol. 9, Page No. 199 and 200).
