حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ
: أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِكِتَابٍ أَصَابَهُ مِنْ بَعْضِ [١]الْكُتُبِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ! إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ كِتَابًا حَسَنًا مِنْ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ [٢]، قَالَ: فَغَضِبَ وَقَالَ: أَمُتَهَوِّكُونَ فِيهَا يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؟ وَالَّذِي [٣]نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ جِئْتُكُمْ بِهَا بَيْضَاءَ نَقِيَّةً، لَا تَسْأَلُوهُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَيُخْبِرُوكُمْ بِحَقٍّ فَتُكَذِّبُوا بِهِ، أَوْ بِبَاطِلٍ فَتُصَدِّقُوا بِهِ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَنَّ مُوسَى كَانَ حَيًّا الْيَوْمَ مَا وَسِعَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَتَّبِعَنِي

Machine translation, not reviewed
That 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet ﷺ with a book he had obtained from some of the books [1]. He said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have obtained a fine book from some of the People of the Book [2]." He said: He became angry and said: "Are you confused about it, O son of al-Khattab? By Him in whose hand my soul is, I have brought it to you pure and white. Do not ask them about anything, for they will inform you of truth and you will deny it, or of falsehood and you will affirm it. By Him in whose hand my soul is, if Musa were alive today, he would have no choice but to follow me [3]."
