Sura 5
Aya 101
101
يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا لا تَسأَلوا عَن أَشياءَ إِن تُبدَ لَكُم تَسُؤكُم وَإِن تَسأَلوا عَنها حينَ يُنَزَّلُ القُرآنُ تُبدَ لَكُم عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنها ۗ وَاللَّهُ غَفورٌ حَليمٌ

(Irfan-ul-Quran)

O Believers! Do not ask about things (on which the Qur’an is quiet,) for if they are disclosed to you, they may put you in strain (and you will be disgusted by them). But if you enquire about them while the Qur’an is being sent down, they will be disclosed to you (i.e. fixated through revealing the Commandments, but this will put an end to your choice of discretion, binding you only to one Command). Allah has (so far) overlooked (these matters and questions), and Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Forbearing.
