Kaab reported,

Kaab said, "If this verse had been revealed to any community other than this one, they would have marked the day it came down to them and made it a festival on which they gathered together."Umar asked, "Which verse, Kaab?"Kaab replied, "'Today I have perfected your religion for you' [Maidah 5:3]."Umar said, "I know the day it was revealed and the place where it was revealed. It was a Friday and the day of Arafah, and praise be to Allah, both of them are a festival for us."

عن كعب قال

لو أن غير هذه الأمة نزلت عليهم هذه الآية، لنظروا اليوم الذي أنزلت فيه عليهم فاتخذوه عيدا يجتمعون فيه. فقال عمر: أي آية يا كعب؟ فقال: {اليوم أكملت لكم دينكم} فقال عمر: قد علمت اليوم الذي أنزلت فيه، والمكان الذي أنزلت فيه، يوم جمعة ويوم عرفة. وكلاهما بحمد الله لنا عيد.

His saying, "Forbidden to you are carrion, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah, and the strangled, the beaten, the fallen, the gored, and that which wild beasts have eaten except what you slaughter, and that which is sacrificed on stone altars, and that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. Today those who disbelieve have despaired of your religion, so do not fear them but fear Me. Today I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin, then indeed Allah is Forgiving and Merciful"
