Ask not about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble."[2] (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb.

Arabic text

٣٠٥٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَصْرِيُّ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ‌مُوسَى بْنُ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ‌أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ: «قَالَ رَجُلٌ»: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَنْ أَبِي؟ قَالَ: أَبُوكَ فُلَانٌ. فَنَزَلَتْ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ} : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ.

Commentary

The Prophet's ﷺ duty is to convey the teachings of Religion and the Shari'ah; knowledge about the people's family lineage, or to tell them who is whose father, is out of the Prophet's ﷺ duty and mission; therefore it is an unreasonable question.
