حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ وَرْدَانَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ
لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلاً} قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْحَجُّ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ فَسَكَتَ ثُمَّ قَالُوا أَفِي كُلِّ عَامٍ فَقَالَ لاَ وَلَوْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَوَجَبَتْ فَنَزَلَتْ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ }

“When the following was revealed: “And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka’bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah, for whoever can bear the way.” [3:97] They asked: ‘O Messenger of Allah, is Hajj every year?’ He remained silent. They asked: ‘Is it every year?’ He said: ‘No. If I had said yes, it would have become obligatory.’ Then the following was revealed: “O you who believe! Ask not about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble.’” [5:101]

- ابن الملقن
حديث ضعيف منقطع أبو البختري لم يسمع من علي قال ابن عبد البر له مراسيل عنه ولم يسمع منه عبد الأعلى ضعفوه وقال أبو زرعة ضعيف الحديث ربما رفع الحديث وربما وقفه
machine translationA weak (ḍaʿīf) ḥadīth with a broken chain (munqaṭiʿ). Abū al-Bakhtarī did not hear from ʿAlī. Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr said: He has mursal narrations from him, and ʿAbd al-Aʿlā did not hear from him; they declared him weak. Abū Zurʿah said: He is weak in ḥadīth; at times he would raise a ḥadīth to the Prophet (marfūʿ) and at times he would stop it at a Companion (mawqūf).
