[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 Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "Hajj (pilgrimage) has been ordained upon you." It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, is it obligatory every year?" He said, "No, if I had said it was obligatory to perform Hajj every year, it would have become obligatory and anything beyond that would be voluntary."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْحَجُّ» فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ؟ قَالَ «لَا وَلَوْ قُلْتُهَا لَوَجَبَتْ الْحَجُّ مَرَّةٌ فَمَا زَادَ فَهُوَ تَطَوُّعٌ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us saying, "O people, Verily Allah has prescribed upon you the obligation of Hajj." Al-Aqra' bin Habis stood up and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, is it obligatory every year?" He replied, "If I say yes, it would become obligatory, and if it becomes obligatory, you would not be able to fulfill it every year. Therefore, whoever performs it in excess, it will be considered a voluntary act of worship."

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْحَجَّ» فَقَامَ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ فَقَالَ أَفِي كُلَّ عَامٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «لَوْ قُلْتُهَا لَوَجَبَتْ وَلَوْ وَجَبَتْ لَمْ تَعْمَلُوا بِهَا أَوْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا بِهَا الْحَجُّ مَرَّةً فَمَنْ زَادَ فَتَطَوُّعٌ»

[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
