Hadith 639
Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon to us and said: O people! Hajj has been made obligatory upon you, so perform Hajj. A man asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Is it necessary (to perform Hajj) every year? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. The man repeated this question three times, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If I had said yes, it would have become obligatory every year and you would not have been able to do it. So leave me with what I have left you with. Indeed, those before you were destroyed only because they asked too many questions of their prophets and differed with them excessively. So when I command you to do something, do as much of it as you can, and when I forbid you from something, then avoid it.
