Hadith 269

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِكَثْرَةِ سُؤَالِهِمْ وَاخْتِلَافِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ، لَا تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ)) فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حُذَافَةَ: مَنْ أَبِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: ((أَبُوكَ حُذَافَةُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ)) فَرَجَعَ إِلَى أُمِّهِ فَقَالَتْ: وَيْحَكَ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى الَّذِي صَنَعْتَ، فَقَدْ كُنَّا أَهْلَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَأَهْلَ أَعْمَالٍ قَبِيحَةٍ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: إِنْ كُنْتُ لَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَعْلَمَ مَنْ أَبِي وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنَ النَّاسِ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The people before you were destroyed only and only because of excessive questioning and differing with their prophets. And whatever you ask me about, I will answer you.” Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hudhafah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “O Messenger of Allah! Who is my father?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Your father was Hudhafah bin Qais.” Then when he went to his mother, she said to him: “May you be ruined, what made you ask this question? We were people of ignorance and used to do shameful deeds.” He said to his mother: “I wanted to know who my father was and from which people he was.”
