They said, O Messenger of God, every year, but he remained silent. They said O Messenger of God, every year he said, “No, and if I had said yes, it would have been obligatory.” Then God revealed: (O you who have believed, do not ask about “Things that, if revealed to you, would displease you.” Abu Issa said, “This is a good, strange hadith from the hadith of Ali.” And on the authority of Abu Hurairah.
