Musnad Ahmad 18335

Translation

✧ Umar bin Al-Khattab came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I passed by a brother of mine from the Quraish who wrote down some verses from the Torah for me. Shall I not present them to you?" The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed, so Abdullah ibn Thabit, who was present, said to Umar, "Can't you see the reaction of the Messenger of Allah's face?" Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "We are satisfied with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad ﷺ as our Messenger." The Prophet ﷺ then turned away and said, "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, if Musa were to come amongst you and you were to follow him and leave me, you would be led astray. You are my share of the nations, just as I am your share among the prophets."
