حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُوحٍ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِعَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ قَالَ: فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لِنَفْسِي: ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، نَزَرْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْكَ، قَالَ: فَرَكِبْتُ رَاحِلَتِي، فَتَقَدَّمْتُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَكُونَ نَزَلَ فِيَّ شَيْءٌ، قَالَ: فَإِذَا أَنَا بِمُنَادٍ يُنَادِي يَا عُمَرُ، أَيْنَ عُمَرُ ؟ قَالَ: فَرَجَعْتُ وَأَنَا أَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ نَزَلَ فِيَّ شَيْءٌ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: نَزَلَتْ عَلَيَّ الْبَارِحَةَ سُورَةٌ هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا: إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا لِيَغْفِرَ لَكَ اللهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ.

✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey. He said, 'I asked him about something three times, but he did not respond to me.' He said, 'I said to myself, "May your mother be bereft of you, O Ibn al-Khattab! You have importuned the Messenger of Allah ﷺ three times, and he has not responded to you."' He said, 'I mounted my riding camel and went ahead, fearing that something had been revealed concerning me.' He said, 'Then I heard a caller calling out, "O Umar, where is Umar?"' He said, 'I returned, thinking that something had been revealed concerning me.' He said, 'The Prophet ﷺ said, "Last night a surah was revealed to me that is more beloved to me than the world and all it contains: 'Indeed, We have given you a clear victory, that Allah may forgive you your previous and forthcoming sins.'"'
