It is narrated from Tariq bin Shihab, he says that a Jew came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: O Commander of the Faithful! You recite in your Book such a verse that if it had been revealed to us Jews, we would have made that day (out of respect) a festival. He (Umar) said: Which verse is that? He said: The saying of Allah Almighty that {الْیَوْمَأَکْمَلْتُلَکُمْدِینَکُمْوَأَتْمَمْتُعَلَیْکُمْنِعْمَتِی} … "Today I have completed your religion for you and perfected My favor upon you." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! I know the day on which this verse was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and even the hour in which it was revealed; it was the day of Friday and the evening of Arafah.
