[Machine] "O Amir al-Mu'minin, there is a verse in your book that you recite. If it had been revealed upon us, the Jewish people, we would have taken that day as a celebration." He asked, "Which verse is it?" I said, "The verse is: 'This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion' [Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 3]." Umar said, "We know the day and the place where it was revealed. It was revealed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Arafah, which was a Friday."
لِعُمَرَ ؓ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ آيَةٌ فِي كِتَابِكُمْ تَقْرَأُونَهَا لَوْ عَلَيْنَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ نَزَلَتْ لَاتَّخَذْنَا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ عِيدًا فَقَالَ أِيُّ آيَةٍ؟ قَالَ {الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلَامَ دِينًا} [المائدة 3] فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ فَقَدْ عَرَفْنَا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ وَالْمَكَانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَتْ فِيهِ نَزَلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَرَفَاتٍ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ
