Hadith 126
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ: "أُحَرِّجُ بِاللَّهِ عَلَى رَجُلٍ سَأَلَ عَمَّا لَمْ يَكُنْ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ بَيَّنَ مَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ".
Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said from the pulpit: I consider the person who asks about hypothetical issues to be sinful, because Allah Almighty has already explained that which is going to occur.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadiths 123 to 126)
The preceding narrations are from the eminent Companions (Sahabah kiram), and from them the censure of asking hypothetical questions becomes evident.
From this narration, the certainty, trust, and understanding and insight (fahm wa firasat) of Sayyiduna Umar radi Allahu anhu are apparent: whatever is destined to occur, Allah Ta'ala has explained it clearly, and regarding that about which He remained silent and did not clarify, one should not even ask about it. This very point is made clear from «﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ﴾ [المائده : 101]» and the noble hadith: «دَعُونِيْ مَا تَرَكْتُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ.».
