Sunan Abi Dawud 1721 (Book 11, Hadith 1) #22013
The Significance of Hajj

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that Hajj should only be performed once, and any additional performance of it is a supererogatory act.

Narrated Aqra' ibn Habib: Ibn Abbas said: Aqra' ibn Habis asked the Prophet saying: Messenger of Allah hajj is to be performed annually or only once? He replied: Only once, and if anyone performs it more often, he performs a supererogatory act. Abu Dawud said: The narrator Abu Sinan is Abu Sinan al-Du'wail. The same has been reported by both 'Abd al-Jalil bin Humaid and Sulaiman bin Kathir from al-Zuhri. The narrator 'Uqail reported the name "Sinan".
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ الْمَعْنَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ الأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ، سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْحَجُّ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ أَوْ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً قَالَ ‏ "‏ بَلْ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَمَنْ زَادَ فَهُوَ تَطَوُّعٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ هُوَ أَبُو سِنَانٍ الدُّؤَلِيُّ كَذَا قَالَ عَبْدُ الْجَلِيلِ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ جَمِيعًا عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَقَالَ عُقَيْلٌ عَنْ سِنَانٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of the pilgrimage to Makkah known as hajj. It is an obligation for all Muslims who are able to perform it at least once in their lifetime. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that hajj should only be done once and any additional performance of it would be considered a supererogatory act or nawafil which are acts done beyond what is required by Allah SWT. This hadith also shows us the importance of seeking knowledge from reliable sources such as scholars and teachers who can explain religious matters in detail so we can understand them better. Additionally, this hadith reminds us to always strive to do more than what is required from us in our faith so we can gain rewards from Allah SWT on the Day of Judgment.
