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 }.

Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Numayr and ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad narrated to us, both saying: Manṣūr ibn Wardān narrated to us: ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd al-Aʿlā narrated to us, from his father, from Abū al-Bakhtarī, from ʿAlī, who said: When the verse “Pilgrimage to the House is a duty owed to God by people who are able to make their way to it” was revealed, they said: “Messenger of God, is pilgrimage required every year?” He was silent. They repeated: “Every year?” He said: “No. If I said yes, it would become obligatory.” Then the verse was revealed: “O you who believe, do not ask about things which, if disclosed to you, would distress you.”
