Sahih al-Bukhari 3036 (Book 58, Hadith 10)
`Abbas wept till the stones on the ground were soaked with his tears. On that I asked Ibn `Abbas,
“What is (about) Thursday?” He said, “When the condition (i.e. health) of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
deteriorated, he said, ‘Bring me a bone of scapula, so that I may write something for you after which
you will never go astray.’The people differed in their opinions although it was improper to differ in
front of a prophet, They said, ‘What is wrong with him? Do you think he is delirious? Ask him (to
understand). The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, ‘Leave me as I am in a better state than what you are asking me to
do.’ Then the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered them to do three things saying, ‘Turn out all the pagans from the
Arabian Peninsula, show respect to all foreign delegates by giving them gifts as I used to do.’ ” The
sub-narrator added, “The third order was something beneficial which either Ibn `Abbas did not
mention or he mentioned but I forgot.’
Sahih al-Bukhari 3036 (Book 58, Hadith 10)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
