Chapter: Going out for Hajj

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ وَرْدَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ ‏ {‏وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلاً‏} ‏‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْحَجُّ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ فَسَكَتَ ثُمَّ قَالُوا أَفِي كُلِّ عَامٍ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ لاَ وَلَوْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَوَجَبَتْ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَنَزَلَتْ ‏ {‏يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ ‏} ‏‏.‏

It was
narrated that ‘Ali said: “When the following was revealed:
“And
Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka’bah) is a duty that
mankind owes to Allah, for whoever can bear the way.” [3:97] They
asked: ‘O Messenger of Allah, is Hajj every year?’ He remained
silent.
They asked: ‘Is it every year?’ He said: ‘No. If I had
said yes, it
would have become obligatory.’ Then the following was
revealed: “O you
who believe! Ask not about things which, if made
plain to you, may
cause you trouble.’” [5:101]
