[Machine] The messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon and said, "O people, surely Allah has made Hajj obligatory upon you." So, a man stood up and asked, "Is it obligatory every year, O messenger of Allah?" He remained silent until the man repeated the question three times. Then, he said, "If I were to say 'yes', it would become obligatory and if it became obligatory, you would not be able to fulfill it." Then, he said, "Indeed, those before you were destroyed due to their excessive questioning and disagreement with their prophets. So, when I forbid you from something, then stay away from it. And when I command you to do something, then do it to the best of your abilities." He also mentioned that the verse in Surah Al-Ma'idah was revealed during that incident: "O you who believe, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَطَبَ فَقَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدِ افْتَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْحَجَّ» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَكُلُّ عَامٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ فَسَكَتَّ عَنْهُ حَتَّى أَعَادَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ «لَوْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَوَجَبَتْ وَلَوْ وَجَبَتْ مَا قُمْتُمْ بِهَا ذَرُونِي مَا تَرَكْتُكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ الَّذِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِكَثْرَةِ سُؤَالِهِمْ وَاخْتِلَافِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ فَإِذَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءِ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ وَإِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ فَأْتُوا مِنْهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ» وَذَكَرَ أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ الَّتِي فِي الْمَائِدَةِ نَزَلَتْ فِي ذَلِكَ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ} «  

"The Messenger of Allah addressed the people and said: 'Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has enjoined upon you Hajj.' A man said: 'Every year?' He remained silent until he had repeated it three times. Then he said: 'If I said yes, it would be obligatory, and if it were obligatory you would not be able to do it. Leave me alone so long as I have left you alone. Those who came before you were destroyed because they asked too many questions and differed with their prophets. If I command you to do something then follow it as much as you can, and if I forbid you to do something then avoid it."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2619)   

خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ فَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْحَجَّ» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَوَفِي كُلِّ عَامٍ؟ حَتَّى قَالَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَعْرِضُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَوْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَوَجَبَتْ وَلَوْ وَجَبَتْ لَمَا قُمْتُمْ بِهِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «ذَرُونِي مَا تَرَكْتُكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِسُؤَالِهِمْ وَاخْتِلَافِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ فَمَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَأْتُوا مِنْهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَمَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ»  

[Machine] "When the Prophet ﷺ performed Hajj with his wives, he said, 'Indeed, this is the Hajj. Then, it is upon you to perform the tawaf of the Ka'bah.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمَّا حَجَّ بِنِسَائِهِ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا هِيَ هَذِهِ الْحِجَّةُ ثُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ بِظُهُورِ الْحُصُرِ»  

[Machine] About Abu Huraira's statement, "Exoneration is from Allah and His Messenger," he said, "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered Hunain, he performed the 'Umrah from Ji'rana. Then he ordered Abu Bakr to do the same pilgrimage."  

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فِي قَوْلِهِ {بَرَاءَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ} قَالَ «لَمَّا قَفَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ حُنَيْنٍ اعْتَمَرَ مِنَ الْجِعْرَانَةِ» ثُمَّ أَمَّرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحِجَّةِ
