Musnad Ahmad 179 (Book 2, Hadith 96) #33871
The Power of Ayatus-Saif

SUMMARY: Umar asked the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) a lot of questions about Kalalah, and the Prophet (PBUH) responded by pointing to a verse in the Quran.

It was narrated that Ma'dan bin Abi Talhah said: 'Umar said: I never asked the Messenger of Allah about anything more than I asked him about Kalalah, until he poked me in the chest with his finger and said: 'Is not Ayatus-saif (the verse of summer, ie, it was revealed in summer), which appears at the end of Sooratan-Nisa', sufficient for you?"
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مَا سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَنْ شَيْءٍ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ الْكَلَالَةِ حَتَّى طَعَنَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ فِي صَدْرِي وَقَالَ تَكْفِيكَ آيَةُ الصَّيْفِ الَّتِي فِي آخِرِ سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ‏.‏
