2483. Hārīthah bin Muḍarrib said: "We went to visit Khabbāb who had himself cauterised in seven places on his body. He said: 'I have been ill for so long, and if it was not that I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: "None of you should wish for death" then I would have wished for it, and he said: "A man is rewarded for [all of] his spending except for the dust" – or he said – "in the dust." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is [Hasan] Ṣaḥīḥ.
٢٤٨٣ - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ مُضَرِّبٍ قَالَ: «أَتَيْنَا خَبَّابًا نَعُودُهُ، وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعَ كَيَّاتٍ، فَقَالَ»: لَقَدْ تَطَاوَلَ مَرَضِي، وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: لَا تَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ، لَتَمَنَّيْتُ، وَقَالَ: يُؤْجَرُ الرَّجُلُ فِي نَفَقَتِهِ كُلِّهَا إِلَّا التُّرَابَ أَوْ قَالَ: فِي الْبِنَاءِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Gorgeous or over-spacious houses do not invite Allāh's pleasure or reward. Nevertheless, constructing simple houses for one's family needs is a natural necessity for man. The Hadīth does not target such houses. The Prophet ﷺ himself had chambers made for his family. The Companion, too, had houses of their own.
