๐๏ธ The Hadith of Pen and Paper โ Hadith al-Qirtas
One of the most important narrations extensively transmitted in both Shi'a and Sunni hadith and historical sources is the Hadith of Pen and Paper, widely known as Hadith al-Qirtas (The Hadith of the Writing Material).
During the final days of the blessed life of the Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ, a group of his Companions came to visit him. The Prophet ๏ทบ asked them to bring him writing materials so that he could write something for them that would prevent them from ever going astray after him.
However, Umar ibn al-Khattab, the second caliph according to Sunni tradition, objected and prevented the request from being carried out, declaring that the Prophet ๏ทบ was overcome by illness and that the Qur'an was sufficient. A dispute and commotion then broke out among those present.
As the disagreement intensified, the Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ ordered them to leave, and consequently the writing requested by the Prophet ๏ทบ was never made.
