The Shaykh’s reminder of the hadith of the Jewish scholar who came to 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) … the hadith.

The Shaykh : Here, I would like to remind you of what al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih, so that you may know the value of that verse we mentioned earlier: Al-Bukhari narrated that a Jewish scholar from among the Jewish scholars came to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab during his caliphate and said to him, “O Commander of the Faithful, there is a verse in the Book of Allah that, had it been revealed to us, the Jews, we would have taken the day of its revelation as a festival.” 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “What is this verse?” He then mentioned this verse: to its end. 'Umar said, “It was indeed revealed on a day of festival, on a Friday, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was at 'Arafah, meaning during the Farewell Pilgrimage. So this verse was revealed on a very great day in which two virtues and two festivals coincided: the Friday festival and the 'Arafah festival. It is as if he was saying to that Jewish scholar, “Rejoice, for this verse was revealed on a day of festival, the Friday festival and the 'Arafah festival.” Why did this Jew say, “If this verse had been revealed to us, we would have taken the day of its revelation as a festival”? Because he knew the greatness of this blessing with which Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) favored His servants. As for us Muslims today, unfortunately, we have not appreciated this blessing as it deserves. Therefore, you find that many people, in the later ages, have occupied the Muslims with many prayers, dhikr, and daily recitations that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not bring, whereas what he (peace be upon him) brought, as we have indicated, is sufficient and enough, indeed more than our capacity as human beings. Each person takes from these acts of worship what he is able to do and what suits his capacity and strength.
If we know this reality.
