Sharh Usul Itiqad Ahl al-Sunnah wa-al-Jamaah - Al-Lalakai - (5/964)

1601 — Muhammad ibn Ali ibn al-Nadr narrated to us: Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Sa'dan narrated to us: Shu'ayb ibn Ayyub narrated to us: Ja'far ibn Awn narrated to us: Abu Umays narrated to us, from Qays ibn Muslim, from Tariq ibn Shihab, who said: A Jewish man came to Umar and said, “You recite in your Book a verse which, had it been revealed to us, the Jews, we would have taken that day as a festival.” He said, “And which verse is that?” He replied:

“Today I have perfected for you your religion, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.” [al-Ma'idah 5:3]

Umar said, “Indeed, I know the day on which it was revealed and the place in which it was revealed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: on the Day of Arafah, and it was a Friday.” Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated it through Ja'far ibn Awn.

١٦٠١ - أنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النَّضْرِ، قَالَ: أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدَانَ، قَالَ: نا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: نا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ: أنا أَبُو عُمَيْسٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ فِي كِتَابِكُمْ آيَةً لَوْ عَلَيْنَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ أُنْزِلَتْ لَاتَّخَذْنَا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ عِيدًا، فَقَالَ: وَأَيُّ آيَةٍ؟ قَالَ: ﴿الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي، وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلَامَ دِينًا﴾ [المائدة: ٣] فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَتْ فِيهِ وَالْمَكَانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَتْ فِيهِ، عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ وَيَوْمَ جُمْعَةٍ " أَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَمُسْلِمٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عَوْنٍ
