حديث عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْيَهُودِ قَالَ لَهُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ آيَةٌ فِي كِتَابِكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَهَا، لَوْ عَلَيْنَا، مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ نَزَلَتْ، لَاتَّخَذْنَا ذلِكَ الْيَوْمَ عِيدًا ⦗٣٣٢⦘ قَالَ: أَيُّ آيَةٍ قَالَ (الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الإِسْلَامَ دِينًا) قَالَ عُمَرُ: قَدْ عَرَفْنَا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ، وَالْمَكَانَ الَّذِي نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ بِعَرَفَةَ، يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ.
'Umar bin Al-Khattab Narrated from:
Once a Jew said to me, "O chief of Believers! There is a Verse in your Holy Book which is read by all of you (Muslims) and had it been revealed to us, we would have taken that day (on which it was revealed) as an 'Eid (festival) day." 'Umar bin Al-Khattâb رضي الله عنه asked, "Which is that Verse?"The Jew replied, "This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islâm as your religion." (V.5:3)'Umar رضي الله عنه replied, "No doubt, we know when and where this Verse was revealed to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. It was Friday and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was standing at 'Arafât (i.e. the day of Hajj)." ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 43, Vol. 1)
