Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“The people before you were destroyed only and only because of excessive questioning and differing with their prophets. And whatever you ask me about, I will answer you.”Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hudhafah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“O Messenger of Allah! Who is my father?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Your father was Hudhafah bin Qais.”Then when he went to his mother, she said to him:“May you be ruined, what made you ask this question? We were people of ignorance and used to do shameful deeds.”He said to his mother:“I wanted to know who my father was and from which people he was.”
