Ayat 65. Then they found one of
Our slaves, unto whom We had bestowed mercy from Us, and whom We had taught
knowledge from Us.
[Tafseer] (He said)
Moses (PBUH) said: (This is that which we have been seeking) as an indication
from Allah to Khidr (they retraced their steps again) they went back, following
their own footsteps. (Then found they) at the rock (one of Our slaves)
i.e. Khidr, (unto whom We had given mercy from Us) He says: We favoured him with
prophethood, (and had taught him knowledge from Our presence) the knowledge of
future
events.
Hazrat Abu Hurairah
(May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) delivered a Khutbah and said, "O people! Hajj (pilgrimage to the
House of Allah) has been made incumbent upon you, so perform Hajj.'' A man
inquired: "O Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH), is it prescribed every year?'' He
[SAWW](PBUH) remained silent till the man repeated it thrice. Then he
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "Had I replied in the affirmative, it would have surely
become obligatory, and you would not have been able to fulfill it.'' Afterwards
he said, "Do not ask me so long as I do not impose anything upon you,
because those who were before you were destroyed on account
of their frequent questioning and their disagreement with their Prophets. So
when I order you to do something, do it as far as you can; and when I forbid you
from doing anything, eschew it.''
[Muslim
Book 07, Chapter 71, Hadith #
3095].
Lesson : This Hadith brings out the following points:
1. Hajj is compulsory once in a lifetime for those who have the means for
it.
2. Unnecessary questioning is disliked.
3. Those who believe in Allah and His Prophet
[SAWW](PBUH) are required to do what they are ordained and abstain from
what they are forbidden.
