Hadith 184

Narrated Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) brought a copy of the Torah to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, this is a copy of the Torah." The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent, and his face began to change. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "May your mother grieve for you! Do you not see what is happening on the face of the Messenger of Allah?" Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) then looked at the face of the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: "I seek refuge in Allah from His anger and the anger of His Messenger. We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our religion, and with Muhammad as our Prophet." The Prophet (ﷺ) then said: "By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, if you had followed Moses and left me, you would have gone astray from the right path. And if Moses were alive and had reached my prophethood, he would have certainly followed me."
