أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا
مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمِنْقَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي
أَبِي، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ يَوْمًا إِلَى
ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ لَا أَدْرِي مَا هُوَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ:
"لَا تَسْأَلْ عَمَّا لَمْ يَكُنْ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَلْعَنُ مَنْ سَأَلَ عَمَّا لَمْ يَكُنْ".
Hammad bin Yazid narrated from his father that one day a man came to Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) and asked him about something of which I have no knowledge. So Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "Do not ask about something that has not occurred. I heard Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) curse the person who asks about things that have not (yet) happened."
