Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ جَاءَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي مَرَرْتُ بِأَخٍ لِي مِنْ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ فَكَتَبَ لِي جَوَامِعَ مِنْ التَّوْرَاةِ أَلَا أَعْرِضُهَا عَلَيْكَ قَالَ فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَ
عْنِي ابْنَ ثَابِتٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَلَا تَرَى مَا بِوَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ تَعَالَى رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَسُولًا قَالَ فَسُرِّيَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَصْبَحَ فِيكُمْ مُوسَى ثُمَّ اتَّبَعْتُمُوهُ وَتَرَكْتُمُونِي لَضَلَلْتُمْ إِنَّكُمْ حَظِّي مِنْ الْأُمَمِ وَأَنَا حَظُّكُمْ مِنْ النَّبِيِّينَ

English Translation
ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated to us, Sufyān informed us, from Jābir, from al-Shaʿbī, from ʿAbdullāh ibn Thābit رضي الله عنه who said: ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I passed by a brother of mine from Banū Qurayẓah who wrote for me comprehensive passages from the Torah. Shall I present them to you?' The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed. ʿAbdullāh — meaning Ibn Thābit — said: I said to him, 'Do you not see the look on the Messenger of Allah ﷺ's face?' ʿUmar said: 'We are pleased with Allah تعالى as Lord, with Islam as religion, and with Muḥammad ﷺ as Messenger.' the Prophet ﷺ was relieved and said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is Muḥammad's soul, if Mūsā appeared among you and you followed him and abandoned me, you would go astray. You are my share of the nations and I am your share of the Prophet ﷺs.'
