He said: "I saw (in a dream) as if a rooster pecked me three times, I interpret it that my death is near. Some people are asking me to appoint a successor, but Allah will not cause His religion or His K/ilafah, nor that with which He sent His Prophet to be lost. If death comes to me soon, then the Khilâfah is to be decided by these six men with whom the Messenger of Allah il was pleased when he died. I know that some people will resent their choice. I have struck them with my own hands in the defense of Islam. If they do that (i.e. resent the )Uilafa), then they are the enemies of Allah, of disbelieving and misguidance. I am not leaving behind me any issue that is more important to me than Kalâlah.111 I did not consult the Messenger of Allah about any issue more than I consulted him about Kalâlah, and he did not get annoyed with me for any issue more than he got annoyed with me for this, until he poked me in the chest with his finger and said: '0 'Umar, is not Ayat As-Saif,[21 which appears at the end of Sârat An-Nisâ', sufficient for you?'

Whoever eats them, let him cook them to death (i.e. till there is no more smell in them)."
