حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو کُرَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي السَّفَرِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ مَرَّ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ نُعَالِجُ خُصًّا لَنَا فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا فَقُلْتُ خُصٌّ لَنَا وَهَی نَحْنُ نُصْلِحُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا أُرَی الْأَمْرَ إِلَّا أَعْجَلَ مِنْ ذَلِکَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 4160
It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Amr said: "The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H passed by us we were fixing a hut of ours, and said: 'What is this?' It is a hut of ours that has fallen into disreparr, and we are fixing it.` The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said: 'The matter (of death) may come sooner than that.'''(sahih)
