حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ
أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ كَانَ يَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ فَسَأَلَهُ عُمَرُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ بِشَيْءٍ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ عُمَرُ نَزَرْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ لَا يُجِيبُكَ قَالَ عُمَرُ فَحَرَّكْتُ بَعِيرِي حَتَّى قَدَّمْتُهُ أَمَامَ النَّاسِ وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ نَزَلَ فِي قُرْآنٍ فَمَا نَشِبْتُ أَنْ سَمِعْتُ صَارِخًا يَصْرُخُ بِي فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «قَدْ أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيَّ اللَّيْلَةَ سُورَةٌ هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا لِيَغْفِرَ لَكَ اللَّهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ}

✧ Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ was traveling with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on one of his journeys. Umar asked him about something, but he did not answer him at all. Then he asked him again, but he did not answer. Then he asked him again, but he did not answer. Umar said, 'May your mother be bereaved of you, Umar! You have pestered the Messenger of Allah ﷺ three times, and each time he does not answer you.' Umar said, 'So I urged my camel on until I brought it ahead of the people, fearing that something concerning me had been revealed in the Quran. It was not long before I heard a crier calling to me. I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, greeted him, and he said, "A surah was revealed to me tonight that is more beloved to me than what the sun has risen upon." Then he recited: {Indeed, We have granted you a clear victory, so that Allah may forgive you your past and future sins.} (Quran 48:1–2)"
