("إذا أمرتُكمْ بأمرٍ فأتوا منه ما اسْتَطَعْتُم".
Refrain from asking excessive and unnecessary questions
from the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Leave me as I leave you, for the people who were before you were ruined because of their ˹excessive˺ questions and their differences over their prophets. So, if I forbid you to do something, then keep away from it. And if I order you to do something, then do of it as much as you can."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «دَعُونِي مَا تَرَكْتُكُمْ، إِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِسُؤَالِهِمْ وَاخْتِلاَفِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ، فَإِذَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ شَىْءٍ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ وَإِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ فَأْتُوا مِنْهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ».
The Prophet said: "Whatever I have commanded you do it, and whatever I have forbidden you, refrain from it." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا وَمَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ فَخُذُوا مِنْهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
Avoid that which I forbid you to do and do that which I command you to do to the best of your capacity. Verily the people before you went to their doom because they had put too many questions to their Prophets and then disagreed with their teachings. (Using translation from Muslim 1337b)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ سُؤَالُهُمْ وَاخْتِلَافُهُمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ فَإِذَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ وَإِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ فَأْتُوا مِنْهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ»
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whatever I have forbidden you from, refrain from it. And whatever I have commanded you to do, do it to the best of your ability."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ وَمَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِالْأَمْرِ فَأْتُوا مِنْهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ»
The Prophet said: "Leave me as I have left you (Don't ask me the minor things that I have avoided to tell you). For those who came before you were doomed because of their questions and differences with their Prophets. If I commanded you to do something, then do as much of it as you can, and if I forbid you from doing something, then refrain from it." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «ذَرُونِي مَا تَرَكْتُكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ بِسُؤَالِهِمْ وَاخْتِلَافِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ فَإِذَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ وَإِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِالشَّيْءِ فَأْتُوا مِنْهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ مِنَ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ أَمْرُ فَرِيضَةٍ وَإيِجَابٍ لَا أَمْرُ فَضِيلَةٍ وَإِرْشَادٍ
The Prophet ﷺ said, "Leave me as I leave you, for the people who were before you were ruined because of their questions and their differences over their prophets. So, if I forbid you to do something, then keep away from it. And if I order you to do something, then do of it as much as you can." (Using translation from Bukhārī 7288)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «ذَرُونِي مَا تَرَكْتُكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ بِسُؤَالِهِمْ وَاخْتِلَافِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ فَإِذَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ وَإِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِالْأَمْرِ فَأَتَوْا مِنْهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ»
قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إنما هلك من كان قبلكم بكثرة سؤالهم واختلافهم على أنبيائهم فإذا نهيتكم عن شيء فاجتنبوه وإذا أمرتكم بأمر فأتوا أحسبه قال منه ما استطعتم
