Sunan An Nasai 2620

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ الْمُخَرِّمِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ وَاسْمُهُ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَة،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّاسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ فَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْحَجَّ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ:‏‏‏‏ فِي كُلِّ عَام ؟ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى أَعَادَهُ ثَلاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَوْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَوَجَبَتْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَوْ وَجَبَتْ مَا قُمْتُمْ بِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ذَرُونِي مَا تَرَكْتُكُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِكَثْرَةِ سُؤَالِهِمْ وَاخْتِلافِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِالشَّيْءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَخُذُوا بِهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَإِذَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ .

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allah addressed the people and said: 'Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has enjoined upon you Hajj.' A man said: 'Every year?' He remained silent until he had repeated it three times. Then he said: 'If I said yes, it would be obligatory, and if it were obligatory you would not be able to do it. Leave me alone so long as I have left you alone. Those who came before you were destroyed because they asked too many questions and differed with their prophets. If I command you to do something then follow it as much as you can, and if I forbid you to do something then avoid it. '
