وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -فَقَالَ: { " إِنَّ اَللَّهَ كَتَبَ عَلَيْكُمُ اَلْحَجَّ " فَقَامَ اَلْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ فَقَالَ: أَفِي كَلِّ عَامٍ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ? قَالَ: " لَوْ قُلْتُهَا لَوَجَبَتْ, اَلْحَجُّ مَرَّةٌ, فَمَا زَادَ فَهُوَ تَطَوُّعٌ " } رَوَاهُ اَلْخَمْسَةُ, غَيْرَ اَلتِّرْمِذِيِّ 1 .1 - صحيح. رواه أبو داود (1721 )، والنسائي ( 5 / 111 )، وابن ماجه ( 2886 )، وأحمد ( 3303 ) و ( 3510 ) والحديث ساقه الحافظ بمعناه. وزاد أحمد فر رواية: " ولو وجبت لم تسمعوا، ولم تطيعوا ". وهي عند النسائي بلفظ: " ثم إذا لا تسمعوني ولا تطيعون ".

Ibn 'Abbas (RAA) narratedThat the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) once addressed us and said, "O People! Hajj has been prescribed for you." Al-Aqra' bin Habis stood up and asked, 'O Prophet of Allah! Are we to perform Hajj every year?" The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"Had I said 'yes', it would have become a (yearly) obligation. Hajj is obligatory only once in one's lifetime. Whatever one does over and above this is supererogatory (a voluntary act) for him." Related by the five Imams except for at-Tirmidhi. (ES)
