لِعُمَرَ : إِنَّكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ آيَةً لَوْ نَزَلَتْ فِينَا لَاتَّخَذْنَاهَا عِيدًا ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : " إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ حَيْثُ أُنْزِلَتْ ، وَأَيْنَ أُنْزِلَتْ ، وَأَيْنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ أُنْزِلَتْ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ ، وَإِنَّا وَاللَّهِ بِعَرَفَةَ " ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ : " وَأَشُكُّ كَانَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَمْ لَا ، الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ سورة المائدة آية 3 .
Narrated Tariq bin Shihab: The Jews said to `Umar, "You (i.e. Muslims) recite a Verse, and had it been revealed to us, we would have taken the day of its revelation as a day of celebration." `Umar said, "I know very well when and where it was revealed, and where Allah's Messenger was when it was revealed. (It was revealed on) the day of `Arafat (Hajj Day), and by Allah, I was at `Arafat" Sufyan, a sub-narrator said: I am in doubt whether the Verse:-- "This day I have perfected your religion for you." was revealed on a Friday or not.
