Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 5248

عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ : قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي النَّاسِ فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْحَجَّ " . فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ فَقَالَ : أَفِي كُلِّ عَامٍ ؟ فَعَلَا كَلَامُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَضِبَ ، وَمَكَثَ طَوِيلًا ، ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : " مَنْ هَذَا السَّائِلُ ؟ " . فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ : أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . فَقَالَ : " وَيْحَكَ يُؤْنِسُكَ أَنْ أَقُولَ : نَعَمْ ؟ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ لَوَجَبَتْ ، [وَلَوْ وَجَبَتْ لَتَرَكْتُمْ ، وَلَوْ تَرَكْتُمْ لَكَفَرْتُمْ ، أَلَا إِنَّهُ أَهْلَكَ الَّذِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ أَئِمَّةُ الْحَرَجِ ، وَاللَّهِ ] لَوْ أَنِّي أَحْلَلْتُ لَكُمْ جَمِيعَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ، وَحَرَّمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِثْلَ خُفِّ بَعِيرٍ لَوَقَعْتُمْ [فِيهِ ] " . فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ : " يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ " الْآيَةَ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَإِسْنَادُهُ حَسَنٌ جَيِّدٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood among the people and said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has made Hajj obligatory upon you." A man from among the Bedouins stood up and said: Every year? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped speaking; he became angry and remained (silent) for a long while. Then he began speaking again and said: "Who is the one who asked?" The Bedouin said: It is I, O Messenger of Allah! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Woe to you! Would you like me to say yes? By Allah, had I said yes, it would have become obligatory; and had it become obligatory, you would have abandoned it; and had you abandoned it, you would have fallen into disbelief. The people before you were destroyed by the leaders of hardship (a'immat al-haraj). By Allah, if I were to make lawful for you everything on the face of the earth and make unlawful for you something the size of a camel's foot, you would fall into that very thing." (The narrator says:) On that occasion Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "O you who believe! Do not ask about things which, if they were made plain to you, would displease you."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain is hasan (good) and sound.
