وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ
أَنَّهُ قَرَأَ: (الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لكم دينكُمْ) الْآيَةَ وَعِنْدَهُ يَهُودِيٌّ فَقَالَ: لَوْ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ عَلَيْنَا لَاتَّخَذْنَاهَا عِيدًا فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: فَإِنَّهَا نزلت فِي يَوْم عيدين فِي وَيَوْم جُمُعَةٍ وَيَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ
A Jew who was with him when he recited, “Today I have perfected for you your religion…”(Al-Qur’an; 5:3) remarked, “If this verse had been revealed to us we would have made it a festival.” Ibn Abbas replied, “It was revealed on a day which contained two festivals, on a Friday and on the day of Arafa.”
