Hadith 477
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَسِيرُ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ ، وَعُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَسِيرُ مَعَهُ لَيْلًا ، فَسَأَلَهُ عُمَرُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ عُمَرُ نَزَرْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ لَا يُجِيبُكَ ، قَالَ عُمَرُ : فَحَرَّكْتُ بَعِيرِي حَتَّى إِذَا كُنْتُ أَمَامَ النَّاسِ ، وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يُنْزَلَ فِيَّ قُرْآنٌ فَمَا نَشِبْتُ أَنْ سَمِعْتُ صَارِخًا يَصْرُخُ بِي ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ نَزَلَ فِيَّ قُرْآنٌ ، قَالَ : فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : " لَقَدْ أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيَّ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ سُورَةٌ لَهِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا سورة الفتح آية 1 "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Aslam Adawi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was traveling at night while riding, and Sayyiduna Umar ibn Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was also with him. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about something, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not reply. Then he asked again, but still did not reply. Then he asked again, but still did not reply. At that moment, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to himself: "Would that you had died, O Umar! Three times you have earnestly asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and not once did he reply to you." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: "I made my camel go faster and moved ahead, but in my heart was the fear that perhaps some revelation of Allah's Word would descend concerning me. So after a little while, I stopped, and in the meantime, I heard a caller calling me. At that moment, my fear increased even more that Allah's Word might have been revealed about me. So I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and greeted him with salam. Then he replied and said: 'Tonight a surah has been revealed to me which is more beloved to me than all the things of the world.' Then he recited: «﴿إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا﴾ [الفتح: 1]».
