Jews named Umar “Faruq”

Zurarah
Question:
Do the innovators report that the Jews referred to Umar as “Faruq”?
Answer:
Ya’qub Ibn Ibrahim Ibn Sa’d reported that Ibrahim Ibn Sa’d reported that Salih Ibn Kaisan reported that Ibn Shihab Az-Zuhri said: “It reached us that the people of the Scripture were the first to name Umar as a distinguisher (Faruq) and the Muslims were influenced by their statements and it never reached us that the Prophet Muhammad (s.) said anything about it.” [Tabaqat-ul-Kubra of Ibn Sa’d, Volume 3, page 250].
قال: أخبرنا يعقوب بن إبراهيم بن سعد، عن أبيه، عن صالح بن كيسان، قال: قال ابن شهاب: بلغنا أن أهل الكتاب، كانوا أول من قال لعمر الفاروق، وكان المسلمون يؤثرون ذلك من قولهم، ولم يبلغنا أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ذكر من ذلك شيئا
