Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 805

عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ، وَذَكَرَ قِصَّةً قَالَ فِيهَا : انْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا فَانْتَسَخْتُ كِتَابًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ بِهِ فِي أَدِيمٍ ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " مَا هَذَا الَّذِي فِي يَدِكَ يَا عُمَرُ ؟ " . قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كِتَابٌ نَسَخْتُهُ لِنَزْدَادَ بِهِ عِلْمًا إِلَى عِلْمِنَا ، فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَتَّى احْمَرَّتْ وَجْنَتَاهُ ، ثُمَّ نُودِيَ بِالصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ ، فَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ : أَغْضِبَ نَبِيُّكُمْ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ السِّلَاحَ السِّلَاحَ ، فَجَاءُوا حَتَّى أَحْدَقُوا بِمِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، إِنِّي قَدْ أُوتِيتُ جَوَامِعَ الْكَلِمِ وَخَوَاتِمَهُ ، وَاخْتُصِرَ لِي اخْتِصَارًا ، وَلَقَدْ أَتَيْتُكُمْ بِهَا بَيْضَاءَ نَقِيَّةً ، فَلَا تَتَهَوَّكُوا ، وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الْمُتَهَوِّكُونَ " . قَالَ عُمَرُ : فَقُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ : رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا ، وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا ، وَبِكَ رَسُولًا . ثُمَّ نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - .
رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى ، وَفِيهِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، ضَعَّفَهُ أَحْمَدُ وَجَمَاعَةٌ ، وَيَأْتِي الْحَدِيثُ بِقِصَّتِهِ وَتَمَامِهِ فِي بَابِ الِاقْتِدَاءِ بِالسَّلَفِ .
It is reported from Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that he related a whole incident, in which he said: I copied part of a book of the People of the Book, and I brought it written on leather. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: O Umar, what is this in your hand? I said: O Messenger of Allah, it is a text that I have copied so that our knowledge may increase through it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became angry, until his cheeks turned red. Then it was announced: "The prayer is gathering" (that is, everyone should assemble). The Ansar said: Has your Prophet been angered? To arms! To arms! They came and sat around the pulpit of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people, I have been given comprehensive and concluding words, and things have been made concise for me. I have brought it to you in a clear and pure state, so do not indulge in hair-splitting, and do not let those who indulge in hair-splitting deceive you." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I stood up and said: I am pleased with Allah Almighty as Lord, with Islam as religion, and with you as Messenger (that is, I believe in these matters). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came down (from the pulpit).
Abu Ya'la recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Abd al-Rahman bin Ishaq, whom Ahmad and a group declared da'if (weak). This complete hadith, with the whole incident, will come later in the chapter on following the predecessors (Salaf).
