The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Those before you were destroyed only because of their excessive questioning and their disagreements with their prophets. Ask me about anything, and I will inform you about it."Abdullah bin Huzafa said, "Who is my father, Messenger of Allah?"He replied, "Your father is Huzafa bin Qays."He then returned to his mother, who said to him, "Woe to you! What made you do what you did? We were people of the age of ignorance and committed disgraceful deeds."He said to her, "I simply wanted to know who my father was among the people."
حدثنا يزيد أخبرنا محمد بن عمرو عن أبي سلمة
قال رسول الله ﷺ إنما هلك من كان قبلكم بكثرة سؤالهم واختلافهم على أنبيائهم لا تسألوني عن شيء إلا أخبرتكم به فقال عبد الله بن حذافة من أبي يا رسول الله قال أبوك حذافة بن قيس فرجع إلى أمه فقالت ويحك ما حملك على الذي صنعت فقد كنا أهل جاهلية وأهل أعمال قبيحة فقال لها إن كنت لأحب أن أعلم من أبي من كان من الناس
