Bulugh al-Maram — Hadith #52368

Its origin is in Muslim, from the hadith of Abu Hurairah - may God be pleased with him - 1.1 - authentic. Narrated by Muslim (1337), on the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, addressed us, saying: “O people! God has made Hajj obligatory upon you, so perform Hajj.” A man asked: “Every year, O Messenger of God?” He remained silent until the man asked three times. Then the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “If I had said: Yes, it would have become obligatory, and you would not have been able to perform it.” Then he said: “Leave me alone as long as I leave you alone. Those who came before you were destroyed because of their excessive questioning and their disagreements with their prophets. So, if I command you to do something, do as much of it as you are able. And if I forbid you from something, then leave it.”
