حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، وَغَيْرُ، وَاحِدٍ الْمَعْنَى، وَاحِدٌ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدٍ الْقَارِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، رضى الله عنه يَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْىُ سُمِعَ عِنْدَ وَجْهِهِ كَدَوِيِّ النَّحْلِ فَأُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمًا فَمَكَثْنَا سَاعَةً فَسُرِّيَ عَنْهُ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ زِدْنَا وَلاَ تَنْقُصْنَا وَأَكْرِمْنَا وَلاَ تُهِنَّا وَأَعْطِنَا وَلاَ تَحْرِمْنَا وَآثِرْنَا وَلاَ تُؤْثِرْ عَلَيْنَا وَأَرْضِنَا وَارْضَ عَنَّا " . ثُمَّ قَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أُنْزِلَ عَلَىَّ عَشْرُ آيَاتٍ مَنْ أَقَامَهُنَّ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ " . ثُمَّ قَرَأَ : ( قدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ ) حَتَّى خَتَمَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ . حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنَ الْحَدِيثِ الأَوَّلِ سَمِعْتُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنَ مَنْصُورٍ، يَقُولُ رَوَى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَمَنْ سَمِعَ مِنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَدِيمًا فَإِنَّهُمْ إِنَّمَا يَذْكُرُونَ فِيهِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ وَبَعْضُهُمْ لاَ يَذْكُرُ فِيهِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ وَمَنْ ذَكَرَ فِيهِ يُونُسَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ فَهُوَ أَصَحُّ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ رُبَّمَا ذَكَرَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ يُونُسَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ وَرُبَّمَا لَمْ يَذْكُرْهُ وَإِذَا لَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ يُونُسَ فَهُوَ مُرْسَلٌ .
'Umar bin Al-Khattab Narrated from:
When Revelation Came To The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ), One Could Hear What Sounded Like The Drone Of Bees Before His Face. One Day Revelation Was Coming To Him, He Faced The Qiblah, Raised His Hands And Said: 'O Allah! Increase Us, Do Not Diminish Us. Favor Us, Do Not Withhold From Us, Make Us Pleased And Be Pleased With Us.' He (ﷺ) Said: 'Ten Ayah Were Revealed To Me, Whoever Abides By Them Shall Enter Paradise(And They Are): 'Successful Indeed Are The Believers...' Until The Completion Of Ten Ayat (23:1-10).(Another Route) From Azzuhri With This Chain. [Abu 'Eisa Said:] This Is More Correct Than The First Narration. I Heard Ishaq Bin Mansur Saying: "Ahmad Bin Hanbal, 'Ali Bin Almadini, And Ishaq Bin Ibrãhim Reported This Hadith From 'Abdurrazzaq, From Yunus Bin Sulaim, From Yunus Bin Yazid From Azzuhri." [Abu 'Eisa Said:] Only Those Who Heard From 'Abdur-Razzaq Early Mentioned In It: "From Yunus Bin Yazid", While Some Of Them Did Not Mention In It: "From Yunus Bin Yazid." And Whoever Mentioned "From Yunus Bin Yazid" Then He Was More Correct. Sometimes 'Abdur-Razzaq Would Mention Yunus Bin Yazid In This Hadith And Sometimes He Would Not Mention Him. [When He Did Not Mention Yunus, Then It Is Mursal].

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 3173
This hadith about successful believers describes a moment of revelation. Umar said that when revelation came to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم), a sound like the drone of bees could be heard near his face. After revelation came one day, the Prophet faced the Qiblah, raised his hands, and made a dua asking Allah to increase them, honor them, give to them, make them pleased, and be pleased with them. Then he said that ten verses had been revealed to him, and whoever abides by them shall enter Paradise. He recited from the beginning of Surah Al-Mu'minun: Successful indeed are the believers, until the completion of ten verses. The focus is on living by those revealed qualities.
What we learn from this hadith

- The ten verses from Surah Al-Mu'minun are linked to success.
