Riyad as-Salihin 1272 (Book 10, Hadith 2) #37761
Obeying Commands Without Questioning

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of following the commands of Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ) without questioning them.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah delivered a Khutbah and said, "O people! Hajj (pilgrimage to the House of Allah) has been made incumbent upon you, so perform Hajj". A man inquired: "O Messenger of Allah, is it prescribed every year?" He remained silent till the man repeated it thrice. Then he said, "Had I replied in the affirmative, it would have surely become obligatory, and you would not have been able to fulfill it". Afterwards he said, "Do not ask me so long as I do not impose anything upon you, because those who were before you were destroyed on account of their frequent questioning and their disagreement with their Prophets. So when I order you to do something, do it as far as you can; and when I forbid you from doing anything, eschew it". Muslim.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ خطبنا رسول الله فقال‏:‏ ‏"‏يا أيها الناس إن الله قد فرض عليكم الحج فحجوا‏"‏ فقال رجل‏:‏ أكل عام يا رسول الله‏؟‏ فسكت، حتى قالها ثلاثًا فقال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏"‏لو قلت نعم لوجبت، ولما استطعتم‏"‏ ثم قال‏:‏ ‏"‏ذروني ما تركتكم، فإنما هلك من كان قبلكم بكثرة سؤالهم، واختلافهم على أنبيائهم، فإذا أمرتكم بشيء فأتوا منه ما استطعتم، وإذا نهيتكم عن شيء فدعوه‏"‏‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
