Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) addressed us and said: O people, Allah has made Hajj obligatory for you; so perform Hajj. Thereupon a person said: Messenger of Allah, (is it to be performed) every year? He (the Holy Prophet) kept quiet, and he repeated (these words) thrice, whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: If I were to say" Yes," it would become obligatory (for you to perform it every year) and you would not be able to do it. Then he said: Leave me with what I have left to you, for those who were before you were desroyed because of excessive questioning, and their opposition to their apostles. So when I command you to do anything, do it as much as it lies in your power and when I forbid you to do anything, then abandon it

وحدثني زهير بن حرب، حدثنا يزيد بن هارون، اخبرنا الربيع بن مسلم القرشي، عن محمد بن زياد، عن ابي هريرة، قال خطبنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال " ايها الناس قد فرض الله عليكم الحج فحجوا " . فقال رجل اكل عام يا رسول الله فسكت حتى قالها ثلاثا فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " لو قلت نعم لوجبت ولما استطعتم - ثم قال - ذروني ما تركتكم فانما هلك من كان قبلكم بكثرة سوالهم واختلافهم على انبيايهم فاذا امرتكم بشىء فاتوا منه ما استطعتم واذا نهيتكم عن شىء فدعوه
