A Jew said to `Umar, "O Chief of the Believers, if this verse: 'This day I have perfected your religion
for you, completed My favors upon you, and have chosen for you, Islam as your religion.' (5.3) had
been revealed upon us, we would have taken that day as an `Id (festival) day." `Umar said, "I know
definitely on what day this Verse was revealed; it was revealed on the day of `Arafat, on a Friday."

Ash-'Shu`bi asked me, "Did you notice how Al-Hasan used to narrate Hadiths from the Prophets? I
stayed with Ibn `Umar for about two or one-and-half years and I did not hear him narrating any thing
from the Prophet (ﷺ) except his (Hadith): He (Ibn `Umar) said, "Some of the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ)
including Sa`d, were going to eat meat, but one of the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) called them, saying, 'It is
the meat of a Mastigure.' The people then stopped eating it. On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Carry on
eating, for it is lawful.' Or said, 'There is no harm in eating it, but it is not from my meals."

That he heard `Umar speaking while standing on the pulpit of the Prophet (ﷺ) in the morning (following
the death of the Prophet), when the people had sworn allegiance to Abu Bakr. He said the Tashah-hud
before Abu Bakr, and said, "Amma Ba'du (then after) Allah has chosen for his Apostle what is with
Him (Paradise) rather than what is with you (the world). This is that Book (Quran) with which Allah
guided your Apostle, so stick to it, for then you will be guided on the right path as Allah guided His
Apostle with it."
