Chapter: Indifference towards this world

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي السَّفَرِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ مَرَّ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَنَحْنُ نُعَالِجُ خُصًّا لَنَا فَقَالَ ‏”‏ مَا هَذَا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ خُصٌّ لَنَا وَهَى نَحْنُ نُصْلِحُهُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏”‏ مَا أُرَى الأَمْرَ إِلاَّ أَعْجَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr said: “The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) passed by us when we were fixing a hut of ours, and said: ‘What
is this?’ I said: ‘It is a hut of ours that has fallen into
disrepair.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The matter (of
death)
may come sooner than that.’”
