4621. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ delivered a Khutba (religious talk) the like of which I had never heard before. He said, “If you but knew what I know then you would have laughed little and wept much.” On hearing that, the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ covered their faces and the sound of their weeping was heard. A man asked, “Who is my father?” The Prophet ﷺ said, “So-and-so.” So, this Verse was revealed: “... (O you who believe!) Ask not about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble...” (V.5:101)

4621 - حَدَّثَنَا مُنْذِرُ بْنُ الوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الجَارُودِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُطْبَةً مَا سَمِعْتُ مِثْلَهَا قَطُّ، قَالَ: «لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا، وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا»، قَالَ: فَغَطَّى أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وُجُوهَهُمْ لَهُمْ خَنِينٌ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: مَنْ أَبِي؟ قَالَ: فُلاَنٌ، فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ: {لاَ تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ} [المائدة: 101] رَوَاهُ النَّضْرُ، وَرَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ
