814. 'Alī bin Abī Tālib narrated: "When Allāh revealed: And Hajj to the House is a duty that mankind owes to Allāh, for whomever is able to bear the journey.[1] They said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Is that every year?' He remained silent. So they said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Is that every year?' He said: 'No. If I had said yes, then it would have been made obligatory.' So Allāh revealed: O you who believe! Do not ask about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble.[2] (Da'if)[3]
(He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Abbās and Abū Hurairah.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of 'Alī is a Ḥasan Gharīb Ḥadīth from this route. Abū Al-Bukhtārī's name is Sa'eed bin Abī 'Imrān, and he is Sa'eed bin Fairūz.
