Hadith 17:1119
Hushaym narrated to us, from Mujalid, from al-Sha'bi, from Jabir, that Umar ibn al-Khattab came to the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) with a book he had obtained from some of the People of the Book. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have obtained a good book from some of the People of the Book." He became angry and said, "Are you confused about it, O son of al-Khattab? By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I have brought it to you white and pure. Do not ask them about anything, for they might tell you the truth and you deny it, or they might tell you a falsehood and you believe it. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if Moses were alive, he would have no choice but to follow me."
حدثنا [ هشيم ] عن مجالد عن الشعبي عن جابر أن عمر بن الخطاب أتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بكتاب أصابه من بعض أهل الكتاب فقال يا رسول الله إني أصبت كتابا حسنا من بعض أهل الكتاب قال فغضب وقال امتهوكون فيها يا بن الخطاب فوالذي نفسي بيده لقد جئتكم بها بيضاء نقية لا تسألوهم عن شيء فيخبروكم بحق فتكذبوا به أو بباطل فتصدقوا به والذي نفسي بيده لو كان موسى حيا ما وسعه إلا أن يتبعني
