(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا

طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ : أَنَّ الْيَهُودَ ، قَالُوا
لِعُمَرَ : " إِنَّكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ آيَةً ، لَوْ أُنْزِلَتْ فِينَا ، لَاتَّخَذْنَا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ عِيدًا ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ حَيْثُ أُنْزِلَتْ ، وَأَيَّ يَوْمٍ أُنْزِلَتْ ، وَأَيْنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ أُنْزِلَتْ ، أُنْزِلَتْ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاقِفٌ بِعَرَفَةَ " ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ : وَأَشُكُّ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ أَوْ لَا ، يَعْنِي : الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الإِسْلامَ دِينًا سورة المائدة آية 3 .
Tariq bin Shihab reports that a Jew came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "O Commander of the Faithful! You people recite a verse in your Book which, if it had been revealed to us Jews, we would have taken the day of its revelation as a festival." (Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, asked: "Which verse is that?" He referred to the verse of the completion of religion.) Upon this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "By Allah! I know the day and the time when this verse was revealed. This verse was revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Jumu'ah, in the evening of Arafah."
