Hadith 456
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو السَّفَرِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَنَا أُصْلِحُ خُصًّا لَنَا، فَقَالَ: ”مَا هَذَا؟“ قُلْتُ: أُصْلِحُ خُصَّنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَقَالَ: ”الأَمْرُ أَسْرَعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both), he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed by us while I was repairing my hut (which had become dilapidated). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: "What are you doing?" I replied: O Messenger of Allah! I am repairing my hut. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The matter (death) will come even sooner than this."
