“The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, addressed
us saying, „O people, Allah has made the Pilgrimage obligatory for
you, so you should perform it.‟ A man asked, „O Messenger of Allah,
praise and peace be upon him, is it obligatory every year?‟ The
Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, remained silent
and the man asked his question three times. Then the Prophet,
praise and peace be upon him, commented, „If I had said yes, it
would have become obligatory and you could not afford to do so.‟
Then he added, „Leave me when I do not comment about
something. There were some people before you that were ruined by
their habit of asking too many questions and differing with their
Prophets. Therefore, when I direct you to do something carry out my
direction as far as you are able, but when I forbid anything to you
leave it alone altogether.‟"
Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah,
