[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] The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) addressed us 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, should we perform Hajj every year?" He replied, "If I were to say yes, it would become mandatory, but even if it became mandatory, you would not be able to fulfill it every year. So, whoever performs it in addition to the obligatory Hajj, it will be considered as a voluntary (act of worship)."  

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

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ delivered a sermon and said, "O people, Allah has made Hajj obligatory upon you." Al-Aqra' bin Habis stood up and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, is it obligated every year?" He replied, "If I were to say yes, it would become obligatory and you would not be able to fulfill it every year. However, whoever performs it voluntarily, it will be counted as a means of reward." Sufyan bin Husayn and Muhammad bin Abi Hafsah narrated this from Az-Zuhri, who learned it from Abu Sinan Ad-Dawli. In a narration by Jabir bin Abdullah, Suraqah bin Malik asked, "O Messenger of Allah, is this (taking slaves as captives) a temporary dispensation for us or is it lawful forever?" He answered, "No, rather it is lawful forever."  

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللهَ كَتَبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْحَجَّ فَقَامَ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ فَقَالَ أَفِي كُلِّ عَامٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ لَوْ قُلْتُهَا لَوَجَبَتْ وَلَوْ وَجَبَتْ لَمْ تَعْمَلُوا بِهَا وَلَمْ تَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا بِهَا الْحَجُّ مَرَّةٌ فَمَنْ زَادَ فَتَطَوُّعٌ تَابَعَهُ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ وَقَالَ عَقِيلٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سِنَانٍ وَهُوَ أَبُو سِنَانٍ الدُّؤَلِيُّ وَفِي حَدِيثِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّ سُرَاقَةَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَالَ مُتْعَتُنَا هَذِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لِعَامِنَا هَذَا أَمْ لِلْأَبَدِ؟ قَالَ لَا بَلْ لِلْأَبَدِ  

"يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ: كُتبَ عَليْكُم الْحَجُّ، فَقِيلَ: أفى كُلِّ عَامٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: لَوْ قُلْتُهَا لَوَ جَبَتْ، وَلَوْ وَجَبَتْ لَمْ تَعْملُوهَا، وَلَمْ تَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ تَعْملُوا بِهَا، الْحَجُّ مرًّةٌ. فَمنْ زَادَ فَهُوَ تَطَوُّعٌ".
