[Machine] Umar bin Al-Khattab came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I passed by a brother of mine from the Quraish who wrote down some verses from the Torah for me. Shall I not present them to you?" The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed, so Abdullah ibn Thabit, who was present, said to Umar, "Can't you see the reaction of the Messenger of Allah's face?" Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "We are satisfied with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad ﷺ as our Messenger." The Prophet ﷺ then turned away and said, "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, if Musa were to come amongst you and you were to follow him and leave me, you would be led astray. You are my share of the nations, just as I am your share among the prophets."  

أحمد:١٨٣٣٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ

جَاءَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي مَرَرْتُ بِأَخٍ لِي مِنْ قُرَيْظَةَ فَكَتَبَ لِي جَوَامِعَ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ أَلَا أَعْرِضُهَا عَلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ ثَابِتٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَلَا تَرَى مَا بِوَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِينَا بِاللهِ تَعَالَى رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ رَسُولًا قَالَ فَسُرِّيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَصْبَحَ فِيكُمْ مُوسَى ثُمَّ اتَّبَعْتُمُوهُ وَتَرَكْتُمُونِي لَضَلَلْتُمْ إِنَّكُمْ حَظِّي مِنَ الْأُمَمِ وَأَنَا حَظُّكُمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ

[Machine] Umar ibn Al-Khattab came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I came across a letter from my brother from the tribe of Qurayzah in which he wrote down passages from the Torah. Should I not recite them to you?" The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed, and Abdullah (ibn Umar) said to him, "Do you not see the expression on the face of the Messenger of Allah?" Umar replied, "We are satisfied with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad ﷺ as our Messenger." Then the Prophet ﷺ became pleased, and he said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, if Musa (Moses) were alive among you and you followed him, leaving me, you would be led astray. Surely, you are my share from among the nations, and I am your share from among the prophets."

darimi:449Muḥammad b. al-ʿAlāʾ > Ibn Numayr > Mujālid > ʿĀmir > Jābir

[Machine] "Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a copy of the Torah, and he said: 'O Messenger of Allah, this is a copy of the Torah.' Then he remained silent and started reading. The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed. Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said: 'May you be sacrificed for this moment! Why do you not see the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?' So Umar looked at the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'I seek refuge in Allah from the anger of Allah and the anger of His Messenger. We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad as our Prophet.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad as our Prophet.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'By the One in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, if Moses were to appear to you and you were to follow him and abandon me, you would be led astray from the right path. And if he were alive during my prophethood, he would have followed me.'"

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِنُسْخَةٍ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذِهِ نُسْخَةٌ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ فَسَكَتَ فَجَعَلَ يَقْرَأُ وَوَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ يَتَغَيَّرُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ ثَكِلَتْكَ الثَّوَاكِلُ مَا تَرَى بِوَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ فَنَظَرَ عُمَرُ إِلَى وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ غَضَبِ اللَّهِ وَغَضَبِ رَسُولِهِ رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ بَدَا لَكُمْ مُوسَى فَاتَّبَعْتُمُوهُ وَتَرَكْتُمُونِي لَضَلَلْتُمْ عَنْ سَوَاءِ السَّبِيلِ وَلَوْ كَانَ حَيًّا وَأَدْرَكَ نُبُوَّتِي لَاتَّبَعَنِي»
