حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ سَمِعَ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ عَوْنٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعُمَيْسِ أَخْبَرَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْيَهُودِ قَالَ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ آيَةٌ فِي کِتَابِکُمْ تَقْرَئُونَهَا لَوْ عَلَيْنَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ نَزَلَتْ لَاتَّخَذْنَا ذَلِکَ الْيَوْمَ عِيدًا قَالَ أَيُّ آيَةٍ قَالَ الْيَوْمَ أَکْمَلْتُ لَکُمْ دِينَکُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْکُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَکُمْ الْإِسْلَامَ دِينًا قَالَ عُمَرُ قَدْ عَرَفْنَا ذَلِکَ الْيَوْمَ وَالْمَکَانَ الَّذِي نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ عَلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ بِعَرَفَةَ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 45
Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: Once a Jew said to me, "O the 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 a day of celebration." 'Umar bin Al-Khattab asked, "Which is that verse?" The Jew replied, "This day I have perfected your religion For you, completed My favor upon you, And have chosen for you Islam as your religion." (5:3) 'Umar replied,"No doubt, we know when and where this verse was revealed to the Prophet. It was Friday and the Prophet was standing at 'Arafat (i.e. the Day of Hajj)"
