حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُمَيْسٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَقَالَ
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّكُمْ تَقْرَؤُونَ آيَةً فِي كِتَابِكُمْ لَوْ عَلَيْنَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ نَزَلَتْ لَاتَّخَذْنَا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ عِيدًا، قَالَ: وَأَيُّ آيَةٍ هِيَ ؟ قَالَ: قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي. قَالَ: فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَالسَّاعَةَ الَّتِي نَزَلَتْ فِيهَا [نَزَلَتْ] عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، عَشِيَّةَ عَرَفَةَ فِي يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ.

✧ A man from the Jews came to Umar and said, 'O Commander of the Faithful, you recite a verse in your Book that if it had been revealed to us, the community of Jews, we would have taken that day as a festival.' He said, 'Which verse is it?' He said, 'The saying of Him, Mighty and Majestic: "This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you" (Quran 5:3).' Umar said, 'By Allah, I know the day on which it was revealed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the hour in which it was revealed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: the evening of Arafah on a Friday.'
