Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَارِجَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَ الْحَقَّ عَلَى لِسَانِ عُمَرَ وَقَلْبِهِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ مَا نَزَلَ بِالنَّاسِ أَمْرٌ قَطُّ فَقَالُوا فِيهِ وَقَالَ فِيهِ عُمَرُ أَوْ قَالَ ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فِيهِ شَكَّ خَارِجَةُ إِلاَّ نَزَلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى نَحْوِ مَا قَالَ عُمَرُ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ وَأَبِي ذَرٍّ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ‏.‏ وَخَارِجَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ هُوَ ابْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتِ وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Abu ‘Amir al-‘Aqadi narrated to us: Kharijah ibn ‘Abdullah narrated to us, from Nafi‘, from Ibn ‘Umar, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Allah has placed the truth upon ‘Umar’s tongue and in his heart.’ Ibn ‘Umar said: Whenever an affair arose among the people and they discussed it, and ‘Umar—or, as Kharijah was uncertain, Ibn al-Khattab—gave his view, the Qur’an was revealed in accordance with what ‘Umar had said. Abu ‘Isa said: Reports on this topic are also related from al-Fadl ibn al-‘Abbas, Abu Dharr, and Abu Hurayrah. This is a hasan sahih gharib hadith through this route. Kharijah ibn ‘Abdullah al-Ansari is the son of Sulayman ibn Zayd ibn Thabit, and he is trustworthy.
