Ibn Abbas (RA) reported: When Allahs Messenger ﷺ was about to leave this world, there were persons (around him) in his house, Umar bin al-Kbattab being one of them. Allahs Apostle ﷺ said: Come, I may write for you a document; you would not go astray after that. Thereupon Umar said: Verily Allahs Messenger ﷺ is deeply afflicted with pain. You have the Quran with you. The Book of Allah is sufficient for us. Those who were present in the house differed. Some of them said: Bring him (the writing material) so that Allahs Messenger ﷺ may write a document for you and you would never go astray after him. And some among them said what Umar had (already) said. When they indulged in nonsense and began to dispute in the presence of Allahs Messenger ﷺ , he said: Get up (and go away) Ubaidullah said: Ibn Abbas (RA) used to say: There was a heavy loss, indeed a heavy loss, that, due to their dispute and noise. Allahs Messenger ﷺ could not write (or dictate) the document for them.
