Zuhri ne byaan kiya aur un se Abu Salamah ne byaan kiya , un se Abdullah bin Abbas razi Allahu anhuma ne ke Abu Bakr razi Allahu anhu aaye to Umar razi Allahu anhu logon se kuch keh rahe thay . Abu Bakr razi Allahu anhu ne kaha: Umar! Baith jao , lekin Umar razi Allahu anhu ne baithne se inkar kiya . Itne mein log Umar razi Allahu anhu ko chhor kar Abu Bakr razi Allahu anhu ke paas aa gaye aur Aap ne khutba e masnoona ke baad farmaya: Amma baad! Tum mein jo bhi Muhammad salla Allahu alaihi wasallam ki ibadat karta tha to usay maloom hona chahiye ke Aap ki wafat ho chuki hai aur jo Allah Ta'ala ki ibadat karta tha to (is ka mabood) Allah hamesha zinda rehne wala hai aur is ko kabhi maut nahi aaye gi . Allah Ta'ala ne khud farmaya hai «wa ma muhammadun illa rasoolun qad khalat min qablihir rusulu» ke ”Muhammad sirf Rasool hain , un se pehle bhi Rasool guzar chuke hain .“ Irshad «ash-shakireen» tak . Ibn Abbas razi Allahu anhuma ne byaan kiya: Allah ki qasam! Aaisa mehsoos hua ke jaise pehle se logon ko maloom hi nahi tha ke Allah Ta'ala ne yeh aayat nazil ki hai aur jab Abu Bakr razi Allahu anhu ne is ki tilawat ki to sab ne un se yeh aayat seekhi . Ab yeh haal tha ke jo bhi sunta tha wahi is ki tilawat karne lag jata tha . (Zuhri ne byaan kiya ke) Phir mujhe Saeed bin Musayyab ne khabar di ke Umar razi Allahu anhu ne kaha: Allah ki qasam! Mujhe is waqt hosh aaya , jab main ne Abu Bakr razi Allahu anhu ko is aayat ki tilawat karte suna , jis waqt main ne unhein tilawat karte suna ke Nabi Karim salla Allahu alaihi wasallam ki wafat ho gayi hai to main sakte mein aa gaya aur aisa mehsoos hua ke mere paon mera bojh nahi utha payein ge aur main zameen par gir jaon ga .
