al-Nihayah fi Ghareeb al-Hadith wal Athar, by Ibn al-Athir, pg. 1000:
ومنه حديث مرض النبي ﷺ: قالوا: ما شأنه؟ أهجر؟، أي: اختلف كلامه بسبب المرض، على سبيل الاستفهام. أي: هل تغير كلامه واختلط لأجل ما به من المرض؟ وهذا أحسن ما يقال فيه، ولا يجعل إخباراً، فيكون إما من الفحش أو الهذيان. والقائل كان عمر، ولا يُظن به ذلك.
Among such reports is the hadith of the Prophet’s SAW illness: they said, “What is the matter with him? Is he delirious?”—that is, they questioned whether his speech had changed due to illness, in the form of a question. Meaning: Has his speech altered and become confused because of what he is suffering from? This is the best way to interpret it, and it should not be taken as a statement, for that would imply either rudeness or delirium—and it was ʿUmar who said it, and such a thing is not to be assumed of him.

We read in Ghazali's Sirr al-'Alamin pg. 18:
وأجمع الجماهير على متن الحديث من خطبته في يوم غدير خم باتفاق الجميع وهو يقول : من كنت مولاه فعلي مولاه . فقال عمر : بخ بخ يا ابا الحسن لقد أصبحت مولاي ومولى كل مولى ، فهذا تسليم ورضىً وتحكيم ، ثم بعد هذا غلب الهوى لحب الرياسة... ولما مات رسول الله (ص) قال قبل وفاته : : ائتوا بدواة وبيضاء لأزيل لكم إشكال الأمر ، وأذكر لكم من المستحق بعدي قال عمر رضي الله عنه : دعوا الرجل فإنه ليهجر ، وقيل : يهدر
"The masses have unanimously agreed on the content of the hadith from his sermon on the Day of Ghadir Khumm, with everyone's agreement, when he said: 'Whomever I am his master, Ali is his master.'
'Umar then said, 'Congratulations, congratulations, O Abu al-Hasan! You have become my master and the master of every master.'
This was an acknowledgment, acceptance, and endorsement. However, after this, desire for leadership and authority prevailed...
When the Messenger of Allah (SAW) was about to die, he said: 'Bring me a pen and paper so I may remove any confusion about the matter and clarify who deserves [leadership] after me.'
'Umar said: 'Leave the man, for he is delirious,' or it was said: 'He is speaking nonsense.'

Minhaj Al-Sunnah Vol 6 pg 315
When Thursday came he intended to write a statement. Omar said, "What is the matter with him is he delirious?" Omar doubted whether this statement was due to fever-induced delirium or if it was something he would normally say. He feared it might be due to fever-induced delirium. This was hidden from Omar, just as the death of the Prophet, peace be upon him, was hidden from him. Rather, he denied it, then some of them said, "Bring a book." And some said, "Do not bring a book." The Prophet, peace be upon him, saw that at this time, a book would not be of any benefit, because they were questioning whether it was prone to change due to his illness or if it was safe from this. Thus, the dispute would not be resolved. So, he abandoned it.

Musnad Ahmed bin Hanbal Vol 5 pg 135
Narrated 'Ubaidullah bin Abdullah:
Ibn Abbas said, "When the ailment of the Prophet (ﷺ) became worse, he said, 'Bring for me (writing) paper and I will write for you a statement after which you will not go astray.' But Umar said, 'The Prophet is seriously ill, and we have got Allah's Book with us and that is sufficient for us.' But the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) differed about this and there was a hue and cry. Some said ‘Let the prophet write for you’ Or ‘Bring the prophet (what he requested) that he may write for you’ while others said what Umar said. On that ** The Messenger of Allah (SAW) saddened and said to them, 'Go away (and leave me alone)**" Ibn Abbas came out saying, "It was most unfortunate (a great disaster) that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was prevented from writing that statement for them because of their disagreement and noise.

Musand Ahmad b. Hanbal, Vol. 23, pg. 68, Hadith # 14726:
حدثنا موسى بن داود، حدثنا ابن لهيعة، عن أبي الزبير عن جابر: أن النبي ﷺ دعا عِنْدَ مَوته بصحيفة ليكتب فيها كتاباً لا يَضِلُّون بعده. قال: فخالف عليها عمر بن الخطاب حتى رفضها.
Musa b. Dawud narrated to us, Ibn Lahiʿah narrated to us, from Abu az-Zubayr from Jabir: that the Prophet SAW, near his death, called for a sheet so he could write a document in it by which they would never go astray after him. He said: But ʿUmar b. al-Khattab opposed it, so it was rejected.

We read in Musnad Ahmed Ibn Hanbal Vol.3 pg.409
1935 - Sufyan narrated to us, from Sulayman ibn Abi Muslim, the uncle of Ibn Abi Nujayh, he heard Sa'id ibn Jubayr saying: Ibn Abbas said: "The day of Thursday, and what is the day of Thursday?" Then he cried until his tears soaked the pebbles. He said once, "His tears soaked the pebbles." We asked, "O Abu Abbas, what is the day of Thursday?" He said: "The pain of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) intensified, and he said, 'Bring me something so I may write for you a document after which you will never go astray.' They argued, and it is not appropriate to argue in the presence of a prophet. They said, 'What is his condition? Is he delirious?' Ask him.' So they went back to him and began repeating themselves, and he said, 'Leave me, for the condition I am in is better than what you are calling me to."
Footnote "The chain is Sahih per the conditions of Bukhari and Muslim"
add footnote: Sufyan (The Narrator) said حجر means: "Speaking nonsense."
