حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ وَرْدَانَ الْأَسَدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ، ، أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: {وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا} [آل عمران: ٩٧] ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَفِي كُلِّ عَامٍ؟ فَسَكَتَ، فَقَالُوا: أَفِي كُلِّ عَامٍ؟ فَسَكَتَ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَالُوا: أَفِي كُلِّ عَامٍ؟ فَقَالَ: " لَا، وَلَوْ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، لَوَجَبَتْ " فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ} [المائدة: ١٠١] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ (١)، ،

It was narrated that ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) said:
When this verse `And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the house (Ka`bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah, those who can afford the expenses (for one`s conveyance, provision and residence)` [Al-`Imran 3:97] was revealed, they said: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), is it every year? He remained silent. Then they said: Is it every year? He remained silent, Then they said: Is it every year? He said: `No, if I said yes, it would be obligatory.` Then Allah revealed the words: `O you who believe! Ask not about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble` [Al-Ma’idah 5:101] up to the end of the Αyah.
