Once a Jew said to Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Commander of the Faithful! There is a verse in your Book (the Qur'an) which you recite. If it had been revealed to us Jews, we would have made the day of its revelation a day of festival." You asked, "Which verse is that?" He replied, "(The verse of Surah Al-Ma'idah:) 'Today I have perfected your religion for you, and completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.'" Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "We know well the day and the place when this verse was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). At that time, he (peace be upon him) was standing in Arafat on the day of Friday."
