أَخْبَرَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمِنْقَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ يَوْمًا إِلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ لَا أَدْرِي مَا هُوَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ :" لَا تَسْأَلْ عَمَّا لَمْ يَكُنْ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَلْعَنُ مَنْ سَأَلَ عَمَّا لَمْ يَكُنْ "

Muslim bin Ibrahim told us, Hammad bin Yazid Al-Manqari told us, my father told me, he said: One day a man came to Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with him. About them, so he asked him about something I do not know what it is, and Ibn Omar said to him: “Do not ask about what did not happen, for I heard Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him. Cursed be he who asks about what did not happen.”
