Sahih al-Bukhari 7291 (Book 96, Hadith 22) #6997
Asking Too Many Questions

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) getting angry when people asked too many questions and then answering two of them.

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari: Allah's Messenger was asked about things which he disliked, and when the people asked too many questions, he became angry and said, "Ask me (any question)". A man got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Who is my father?" The Prophet replied, "Your father is Hudhaifa". Then another man got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Who is my father?" The Prophet said, "Your father is Salim, Maula Shaiba". When 'Umar saw the signs of anger on the face of Allah's Messenger , he said, "We repent to Allah".
حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ، قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ كَرِهَهَا، فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرُوا عَلَيْهِ الْمَسْأَلَةَ غَضِبَ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ سَلُونِي ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَبِي قَالَ ‏"‏ أَبُوكَ حُذَافَةُ ‏"‏‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَامَ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَبِي فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَبُوكَ سَالِمٌ مَوْلَى شَيْبَةَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَلَمَّا رَأَى عُمَرُ مَا بِوَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْغَضَبِ قَالَ إِنَّا نَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ‏.‏
