4161. It was narrated that Anas said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ passed by a dome-shaped structure at the door of a man among the Ansâr and said: 'What is this?' They said: 'A dome that was built by so-and-so.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'All wealth that is like this (extravagant) will bring evil consequences to its owner on the Day of Resurrection.' News of that reached the Ansâri, so he demolished it. Then the Prophet ﷺ passed by (that place) later on and did not see it. He asked about it and was told that its owner had demolished it because of what he had heard from him. He said: 'May Allâh have mercy on him, may Allâh have mercy on him.'" (Hasan)

Commentary
Allāmah Ibn Athir, ﷺ, wrote explaining the word Qubbah; it is a small and round, one room tent. Setting such a tent in front of one's house probably was to show one's richness and prestige. However, such a decoration only out of boasting is not allowed.
