adab 25 Extravagance in Building كتاب السَّرَفِ فِي الْبِنَاءِ 15

حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو السَّفَرِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَأَنَا أُصْلِحُ خُصًّا لَنَا، فَقَالَ: مَا هَذَا؟ قُلْتُ: أُصْلِحُ خُصَّنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَقَالَ: الأَمْرُ أَسْرَعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ.

‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr said, “The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went by while I was repairing a hut I owned. He said, ‘What is this?’ I replied, ‘I am mending my hut, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.’ He said, ‘The business is too swift for that.’”
