حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي السَّفَرِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا أُطَيِّنُ حَائِطًا لِي أَنَا وَأُمِّي فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ شَيْئٌ أُصْلِحُهُ فَقَالَ الْأَمْرُ أَسْرَعُ مِنْ ذَلِکَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 5235
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came upon us when my mother and I were plastering a wall of mine. He asked: What is this, Abdullah ? I replied: It is something I am repairing. He said! The matter is quicker for you than that.
