Chapter: Indifference towards this world

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ مُضَرِّبٍ، قَالَ أَتَيْنَا خَبَّابًا نَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ طَالَ سُقْمِي وَلَوْلاَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ ‏”‏ لاَ تَتَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ لَتَمَنَّيْتُهُ وَقَالَ ‏”‏ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيُؤْجَرُ فِي نَفَقَتِهِ كُلِّهَا إِلاَّ فِي التُّرَابِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ أَوْ قَالَ ‏”‏ فِي الْبِنَاءِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

It was
narrated that Harithah bin Mudarrib said: “We came to Khabbab
to
visit him (when he was sick), and he said: ‘I have been sick for a
long time, and were it not that I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
say: “Do not wish for death,” I would have wished for it.’ And
he
said: “A person will be rewarded for all his spending, except
for
(what he spends) on dust,” or he said, “on building.”
