Obligation of Hajj and avoiding excessive questioning
Hadith 300
أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ، نا شُعْبَةُ، نا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ذَرُونِي مَا تَرَكْتُكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِكَثْرَةِ سُؤَالِهِمْ وَاخْتِلَافِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ، فَمَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَأْتُوا مِنْهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ فَإِذَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَدَعُوهُ.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever matters I leave you with, then leave me with them (do not ask me about them). The people before you were destroyed because of asking too many questions of their prophets and differing with them. So when I command you regarding something, act upon it as much as you are able, and when I forbid you from something, then abstain from it."
