عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ مَرَّ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ نُصْلِحُ خُصًّا لَنَا فَقَالَ ((مَا هَذَا)) قُلْنَا خُصًّا لَنَا وَهَى فَنَحْنُ نُصْلِحُهُ قَالَ ((أَمَا إِنَّ الْأَمْرَ أَعْجَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by us while we were repairing one of our huts. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What are you doing?" We said: "This hut of ours had become weak, so we are repairing it." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the matter of death will come sooner than this."
