أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْبَجَلِيُّ ثنا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللهَ كَتَبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْحَجَّ فَقَامَ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ فَقَالَ أَفِي كُلِّ عَامٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ لَوْ قُلْتُهَا لَوَجَبَتْ وَلَوْ وَجَبَتْ لَمْ تَعْمَلُوا بِهَا وَلَمْ تَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا بِهَا الْحَجُّ مَرَّةٌ فَمَنْ زَادَ فَتَطَوُّعٌ تَابَعَهُ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ وَقَالَ عَقِيلٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سِنَانٍ وَهُوَ أَبُو سِنَانٍ الدُّؤَلِيُّ وَفِي حَدِيثِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّ سُرَاقَةَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَالَ مُتْعَتُنَا هَذِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لِعَامِنَا هَذَا أَمْ لِلْأَبَدِ؟ قَالَ لَا بَلْ لِلْأَبَدِ
English Translation
Ibn Abbas said: 'The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) addressed us saying: O people, Allah has prescribed the Hajj upon you. Al-Aqra' ibn Habis stood up and asked: Is it every year, O Messenger of Allah? He said: Had I said yes, it would have become obligatory, and had it become obligatory, you would not have acted upon it nor would you have been able to. The Hajj is once, and whoever does more, it is voluntary.' This was corroborated by Sufyan ibn Husayn and Muhammad ibn Abi Hafsah from al-Zuhri from Abu Sinan. Aqil said from al-Zuhri from Sinan, who is Abu Sinan al-Du'ali. In the hadith of Jabir ibn Abdullah, Suraqah ibn Malik said: 'Is this Mut'ah of ours for this year or forever?' He said: 'No, rather it is forever.'
