[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ delivered a sermon and said, "O people, the obligation of Hajj has been prescribed upon you." Al-Aqra' ibn Habis stood up and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, is it obligatory every year?" He replied, "If I had said yes, it would have become obligatory and you would not have been able to fulfill it every year. But it is a voluntary act, and whoever performs it more than once, it is considered a voluntary act of worship."  

خَطَبَنَا يَعْنِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْحَجُّ قَالَ فَقَامَ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ فَقَالَ أَفِي كُلِّ عَامٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ لَوْ قُلْتُهَا لَوَجَبَتْ وَلَوْ وَجَبَتْ لَمْ تَعْمَلُوا بِهَا أَوْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا بِهَا الْحَجُّ مَرَّةً فَمَنْ زَادَ فَهُوَ تَطَوُّعٌ  

[Machine] It says, "Indeed, Al-Aqra bin Habis asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ if Hajj is obligatory every year. He replied, 'No, rather it is obligatory once, and if I had said yes, it would have become obligatory, and if it had become obligatory, you would not have been able to afford it or bear it.'"  

أَنَّ الْأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحَجُّ كُلُّ عَامٍ؟ قَالَ «لَا بَلْ حَجَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَلَوْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَوَجَبَتْ وَلَوْ وَجَبَتْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا وَلَمْ تُطِيقُوا»  

Allah, Most High, has decreed Hajj for you. Al-Aqra' bin Habis At-Tamimi said: "Every year, O Messenger of Allah?" But he remained silent, then he said: "If I said yes, it would become obligatory, then you would not hear and obey. Rather it is just one Hajj." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2620)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَا قَوْمُ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْحَجُّ» فَقَالَ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ أَكُلَّ عَامٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ فَصَمَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا بَلْ حَجَّةً وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ مَنْ حَجَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ تَطَوُّعٌ وَلَوْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَوَجَبَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ ثُمَّ إِذًا لَا تَسْمَعُونَ وَلَا تُطِيقُونَ  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, is Hajj performed every year?" He replied, "No, rather it is required once. Whoever performs it after that, it will be considered as a voluntary act. Even if I were to say yes, it would become obligatory, but you would not be able to hear and obey. The narration of Suraqah in Umrah has already passed."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الْحَجُّ كُلَّ عَامٍ؟ قَالَ لَا بَلْ حَجَّةٌ فَمَنْ حَجَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ تَطَوَّعٌ وَلَوْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَوَجَبَتْ وَلَوْ وَجَبَتْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا وَلَمْ تُطِيعُوا وَقَدْ مَضَى حَدِيثُ سُرَاقَةَ فِي الْعُمْرَةِ
