Hadith 4163
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ مُوسَى , حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ , عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق , عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ مُضَرِّبٍ , قَالَ : أَتَيْنَا خَبَّابًا نَعُودُهُ , فَقَالَ : لَقَدْ طَالَ سَقْمِي وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : " لَا تَتَمَنَّوْا الْمَوْتَ لَتَمَنَّيْتُهُ , وَقَالَ : " إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيُؤْجَرُ فِي نَفَقَتِهِ كُلِّهَا إِلَّا فِي التُّرَابِ , أَوْ قَالَ : " فِي الْبِنَاءِ " .
´It was narrated that Harithah bin Mudarrib said:` “We came to Khabbab to visit him (when he was sick), and he said: ‘I have been sick for a long time, and were it not that I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “Do not wish for death,” I would have wished for it.’ And he said: “A person will be rewarded for all his spending, except for (what he spends) on dust,” or he said, “on building.”
