226 – ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us, saying: My father narrated to me, saying: Abū Muʿāwiyah narrated to us, saying: ʿAbd al-Rahmān ibn Abī Bakr al-Qurashī narrated to us, from Ibn Abī Mulaykah, from ʿĀʾishah, who said:

When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) became gravely ill, he said to ʿAbd al-Rahmān ibn Abī Bakr, “Bring me a shoulder blade or a tablet so that I may write a document for Abū Bakr, leaving no room for disagreement concerning him.” Then, as ʿAbd al-Rahmān was about to rise, he said, “Allah and the believers will not allow disagreement concerning you, Abū Bakr.”
