\nNarrated Anas:\n \n\nThe Prophet (ﷺ) delivered a sermon the like of which I had never heard before. He said, "If you but knew \nwhat I know then you would have laughed little and wept much." On hearing that, the companions of \nthe Prophet (ﷺ) covered their faces and the sound of their weeping was heard. A man said, "Who is my \nfather?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "So-and-so." So this Verse was revealed: "Ask not about things which, if \nmade plain to you, may cause you trouble." (5.101)\n
