[Machine] "And Khatadah used to mention this Hadith when asked about this verse: 'Do not ask about things that, if they were revealed to you, would harm you.'" (Al-Ma'idah 101)  

أحمد:١٣٦٦٧حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

بِمِثْلِهِقَالَ وَكَانَ قَتَادَةُ يَذْكُرُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {لَا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ} [المائدة 101]
