Regarding Surat Al-Ma'idah
Jami at-Tirmidhi
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ قَرَأَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : ( الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الإِسْلاَمَ دِينًا ) وَعِنْدَهُ يَهُودِيٌّ فَقَالَ لَوْ أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ عَلَيْنَا لاَتَّخَذْنَا يَوْمَهَا عِيدًا . قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَإِنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ فِي يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ وَيَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَهُوَ صَحِيحٌ .
Narrated 'Ammar bin Abi 'Ammar: "Ibn Abbas Recited: This Day, I Have Perfected Your Religion For You, Completed My Favor Upon You, And Have Chosen For You Islam As Your Religion (5:3). And A Jew Was With Him Who Said: 'If This Ayah Was Revealed To Us Then We Would Have Taken That Day As A Day Of Celebration.' So Ibn 'Abbas Said: 'Indeed It Was Revealed On Two 'Eids: On Friday, And On The Day Of 'Arafah.'"
