قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {لَا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ} [المائدة: 101]
Paradise and Hell were presented to me and I have never seen the good and evil as (I did) today. And if you were to know you would have wept more and laughed less. He (the narrator) said: There was nothing more burdensome for the Companions of Messenger of Allah ﷺ than this. They covered their heads and the sound of weeping was heard from them. Then there stood up 'Umar and he said: We are well pleased with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our code of life and with Muhammad as our Apostle, and it was at that time that a person stood up and he said: Who is my father? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Your father is so and so; and there was revealed the verse:" O you who believe, do not ask about matters which, if they were to be made manifest to you (in terms of law), might cause to you harm" (v. 101). (Using translation from Muslim 2359a)
بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِ شَيْءٌ فَخَطَبَ فَقَالَ «عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ فَلَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ وَلَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا» قَالَ فَمَا أَتَى عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمٌ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ قَالَ غَطَّوْا رُءُوسَهُمْ وَلَهُمْ خَنَينٌ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَضِينَا بِاللهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا فَقَامَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَبِي؟ فَقَالَ «أَبُوكَ فُلَانٌ» قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ} [المائدة 101]
