101

The following was revealed when they began to ask the Prophet "sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam" too many questions: O you who believe, do not ask about things which, if disclosed to you, [if] revealed, to you, would trouble you, because of the hardship that would ensue from them; yet if you ask about them while the Qur'ān is being revealed, during the time of the Prophet "sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam" , they will be disclosed to you: meaning that if you ask about certain things during his lifetime, the Qur'ān will reveal them, but once these things are disclosed, it will grieve you. So do not ask about them; indeed: Allahu ta’ālā has pardoned those things, you asked about, so do not ask again; for Allahu ta’ālā is Forgiving, Forbearing.
