حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
خَطَبَنَا، يَعْنِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْحَجُّ. قَالَ: فَقَامَ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ، فَقَالَ: أَفِي كُلِّ عَامٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: لَوْ قُلْتُهَا لَوَجَبَتْ، وَلَوْ وَجَبَتْ لَمْ تَعْمَلُوا بِهَا، أَوْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا بِهَا ! الْحَجُّ مَرَّةً، فَمَنْ زَادَ فَهُوَ تَطَوُّعٌ

✧ He addressed us, meaning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and said: O people, the Hajj has been prescribed for you. He said: Al-Aqra‘ b. Habis stood up and said: Every year, O Messenger of Allah? He said: If I said it, it would become obligatory, and if it became obligatory, you would not act upon it, or you would not be able to act upon it! Hajj is once; whoever does more, it is voluntary.
