2. Companions Beyond the Ten Promised Paradise
٢۔ مسند الصحابة بعد العشرة
[Machine] Al-Harith ibn Khazama brought these two verses from the last part of the chapter of Baraa'ah: "There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves" [Al-Tawbah 128]. He presented them to Umar ibn al-Khattab and asked, "Who agrees with you on this matter?" Umar replied, "I do not know, by Allah, except that I bear witness that I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I understood and memorized it." Umar further added, "I bear witness that I also heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Then Umar said, "If it had been three verses, I would have made it a separate chapter. Look for a chapter in the Qur'an and place it there." So I placed it at the end of the chapter of Baraa'ah.
أَتَى الْحَارِثُ بْنُ خَزَمَةَ بِهَاتَيْنِ الْآيَتَيْنِ مِنْ آخِرِ بَرَاءَةَ {لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ} [التوبة 128] إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ مَنْ مَعَكَ عَلَى هَذَا؟ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي وَاللهِ إِلا أَنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَوَعَيْتُهَا وَحَفِظْتُهَا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ وَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْ كَانَتْ ثَلاثَ آيَاتٍ لَجَعَلْتُهَا سُورَةً عَلَى حِدَةٍ فَانْظُرُوا سُورَةً مِنَ القُرْآنِ فَضَعُوهَا فِيهَا فَوَضَعْتُهَا فِي آخِرِ بَرَاءَةَ
