Sahih Bukhari 4177

حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ , أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ , عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ : أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَسِيرُ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ وَعُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَسِيرُ مَعَهُ لَيْلًا , فَسَأَلَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ شَيْءٍ , فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ , ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ , وَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ : ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا عُمَرُ , نَزَرْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ لَا يُجِيبُكَ , قَالَ عُمَرُ : فَحَرَّكْتُ بَعِيرِي , ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمْتُ أَمَامَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِيَّ قُرْآنٌ , فَمَا نَشِبْتُ أَنْ سَمِعْتُ صَارِخًا يَصْرُخُ بِي , قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ نَزَلَ فِيَّ قُرْآنٌ , وَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ , فَقَالَ : لَقَدْ أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيَّ اللَّيْلَةَ سُورَةٌ لَهِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ , ثُمَّ قَرَأَ : إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا .

Narrated Zaid bin Aslam: My father said, Allah's Apostle was proceeding at night on one of his journeys and `Umar bin Al- Khattab was going along with him. `Umar bin Al-Khattab asked him (about something) but Allah's Apostle did not answer him. `Umar asked him again, but he did not answer him. He asked him again (for the third time) but he did not answer him. On that `Umar bin Al-Khattab addressed himself saying, May your mother be bereaved of you, O `Umar, for you have asked Allah's Apostle thrice, yet he has not answered you. `Umar said, Then I made my camel run fast and took it in front of the other Muslims, and I was afraid that something might be revealed in my connection. I had hardly waited for a moment when I heard somebody calling me. I said, 'I was afraid that something might have been revealed about me.' Then I came to Allah's Apostle and greeted him. He (i.e. the Prophet) said, 'Tonight there has been revealed to me, a Sura which is dearer to me than (all the world) on which the sun rises,' and then he recited: 'Verily! We have granted you (O Muhammad) A manifest victory. (48.1)
