4160. It was narrated that 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr said: "The Messenger of Allâh 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, and we are fixing it.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'The matter (of death) may come sooner than that.'" (Sahih)
4160 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي السَّفَرِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: مَرَّ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَنَحْنُ نُعَالِجُ خُصًّا لَنَا، فَقَالَ: «مَا هَذَا؟» فَقُلْتُ: خُصٌّ لَنَا، وَهَى نَحْنُ نُصْلِحُهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا أُرَى الْأَمْرَ إِلَّا أَعْجَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ»
