حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، سَمِعَ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ عَوْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعُمَيْسِ، أَخْبَرَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ

أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنَ الْيَهُودِ قَالَ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، آيَةٌ فِي كِتَابِكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَهَا لَوْ عَلَيْنَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ نَزَلَتْ لَاتَّخَذْنَا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ عِيدًا.

قَالَ أَىُّ آيَةٍ قَالَ: «الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الإِسْلَامَ دِينًا». قَالَ عُمَرُ قَدْ عَرَفْنَا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ وَالْمَكَانَ الَّذِي نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ بِعَرَفَةَ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ

Once a Jew said to me, “O the chief of believers! There is a verse in your Holy Book Which is read by all of you (Muslims), and had it been revealed to us, we would have taken that day (on which it was revealed as a day of celebration.” Umar ibn al-Khattab asked, “Which is that verse?” The Jew replied, “This day I have perfected your religion For you, completed My favor upon you, And have chosen for you Islam as your religion.”

(Al-Ma’idah 5:3) Umar replied,No doubt, we know when and where this verse was revealed to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). It was Friday and the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was standing at Arafat (i.e. the Day of Hajj).

‘উমার ইবনুল খাত্তাব (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। জনৈক ইয়াহূদী তাঁকে বললঃ হে আমীরুল মু’মিনীন! আপনাদের কিতাবে একটি আয়াত আছে, যা আপনারা পাঠ করে থাকেন, তা যদি আমাদের ইয়াহুদী জাতির উপর অবতীর্ণ হত, তবে অবশ্যই আমরা সে দিনকে খুশীর দিন হিসেবে পালন করতাম।

তিনি বললেন, কোন্ আয়াত? সে বললঃ ‘‘আজ তোমাদের জন্য তোমাদের দ্বীন পরিপূর্ণ করলাম ও তোমাদের প্রতি আমার নিয়ামত সম্পূর্ণ করলাম এবং ইসলামকে তোমাদের দ্বীন মনোনীত করলাম’’- (সূরাহ্ মায়িদাহ্ ৫/৩)।

‘উমার (রাযি.) বললেন, এটি যে দিনে এবং যে স্থানে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর উপর অবতীর্ণ হয়েছিল তা আমরা জানি; তিনি সেদিন ‘আরাফায় দাঁড়িয়েছিলেন আর সেটা ছিল জুমু‘আহর দিন। (৪৪০৭, ৪৬০৬, ৭২৬৮; মুসলিম ৪৩/১ হাঃ ৩০১৭)

ہم سے اس حدیث کو حسن بن صباح نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے جعفر بن عون سے سنا، وہ ابوالعمیس سے بیان کرتے ہیں، انہیں قیس بن مسلم نے طارق بن شہاب کے واسطے سے خبر دی۔ وہ عمر بن خطاب رضی اللہ عنہ سے روایت کرتے ہیں کہ ایک یہودی نے ان سے کہا کہ اے امیرالمؤمنین!

تمہاری کتاب ( قرآن ) میں ایک آیت ہے جسے تم پڑھتے ہو۔ اگر وہ ہم یہودیوں پر نازل ہوتی تو ہم اس ( کے نزول کے ) دن کو یوم عید بنا لیتے۔

آپ نے پوچھا وہ کون سی آیت ہے؟ اس نے جواب دیا ( سورۃ المائدہ کی یہ آیت کہ ) ”آج میں نے تمہارے دین کو مکمل کر دیا اور اپنی نعمت تم پر تمام کر دی اور تمہارے لیے دین اسلام پسند کیا“ عمر رضی اللہ عنہ نے فرمایا کہ ہم اس دن اور اس مقام کو ( خوب ) جانتے ہیں جب یہ آیت رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم پر نازل ہوئی ( اس وقت ) آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم عرفات میں جمعہ کے دن کھڑے ہوئے تھے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Hasan bin Ash Shabbah] bahwa dia mendengar [Ja'far bin 'Aun] berkata; Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Al 'Umais], telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Qais bin Muslim] dari [Thariq bin Syihab] dari [Umar bin Al Khaththab]; Ada seorang laki-laki Yahudi berkata: "Wahai Amirul Mu'minin, ada satu ayat dalam kitab kalian yang kalian baca, seandainya ayat itu diturunkan kepada kami Kaum Yahudi, tentulah kami jadikan (hari diturunkannya ayat itu) sebagai hari raya ('ied).

Maka Umar bin Al Khaththab berkata: "Ayat apakah itu?" (Orang Yahudi itu) berkata: "Pada hari ini telah Kusempurnakan untuk kalian agama kalian, dan telah Ku-cukupkan kepada kalian nikmat-Ku, dan telah Ku-ridhai Islam itu jadi agama bagi kalian". (QS. Al Maidah ayat 3).

Maka Umar bin Al Khaththab menjawab: "Kami tahu hari tersebut dan dimana tempat diturunkannya ayat tersebut kepada Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, yaitu pada hari Jum'at ketika Beliau shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam berada di 'Arafah

Ömer İbnü'l-Hattâb r.a.'den rivayet edildiğine göre Yahudilerden biri ona şöyle dedi: Ey muminlerin emiri ! Sizin kitabınızda okuduğunuz bir ayet biz Yahudiler topluluğuna inmiş olsaydı, o ayet'in indiği günü bayram edinirdik". Hz.

Ömer sordu: "Hangi âyet?" Yahudi cevap verdi: "Bugün size dininizi kemale erdirdim, üzerinizdeki ni'metimi tamamladım ve sizin için din olarak İslâm'dan razı oldum.’’ [Mâide,3] Bunun üzerine Hz.

Ömer şöyle dedi: Biz bu günü ve Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem)'e bu âyet'in indirildiği yeri biliriz. Bu ayet Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem) Arafat'ta ayakta beklerken Cum'a günü indirildi. Tekrar:

Sahih al-Bukhari 45, Book 2, Belief, Hadith 38. 1 min read

What it means

A man from among the Jews came to the Commander of the Believers, ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him), and said: There is a verse in your Book—the Qur’an—which you recite. If it had been revealed to us, the Jews, in our Book, the Torah, we would have taken that day as a festival, celebrating it in gratitude for the blessing of such a great verse.

‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Which verse is that? He said: {Today I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen Islam as your religion.} ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: We know well the day and the place in which this noble verse was revealed. It was sent down on a day of celebration—on Friday—while the Prophet (ﷺ) was standing at ‘Arafah. Both are great days for the Muslims.

What it teaches

  • This shows ‘Umar's great care and attention to both the place and the time where the verse was revealed.
  • This verse highlights the immense favor that Allah Almighty has bestowed upon this Ummah, as He perfected their religion and completed His blessings upon them so that they are in no need of any addition in religion. Therefore, anything introduced into the religion after its completion—without evidence from it—is considered an innovation and a misguidance, as it was authentically reported from the Prophet (ﷺ) that he said: "Whoever introduces into this matter of ours that which is not part of it, it will be rejected."
  • This Hadīth indicates that festivals are not to be established based on personal opinion or innovation, as was done by the People of the Book before us. Rather, they are determined by divine law and prophetic guidance. This verse, which declares the perfection of the religion and the completion of Allah's favor, was revealed on a day that Allah Himself ordained as a festival for this Ummah in two respects: First, it was revealed on Friday, which is the weekly festival for Muslims; and second, it coincided with the Day of ‘Arafah, which is the festival of the pilgrims, their greatest gathering, and their most significant occasion.
  • As-Sa‘di said in his commentary on this verse: {Today I have perfected your religion for you} by completing the victory of Islam and perfecting both its outward and inward laws, its fundamentals and its branches. For this reason, the Qur’an and the Sunnah are entirely sufficient in addressing all matters of religion, both its principles and its subsidiary issues. Therefore, anyone who claims that people must rely on other sciences besides the Qur’an and Sunnah to understand their beliefs and rulings—such as speculative theology and the like—is ignorant and false in his claim. Such a person implies that the religion is incomplete without what he has introduced, and this is among the gravest forms of injustice and ignorance toward Allah and His Messenger. {Completed My favor upon you} both the outward and inward; {and have chosen Islam as your religion} i.e., I have chosen and selected it for you as your way of life, just as I have chosen you for it. So uphold it in gratitude to your Lord, and praise the One Who has blessed you with the noblest, most complete, and most perfect of religions.
