It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Allah Almighty intends evil for a servant, He makes building with bricks and clay appear attractive in his eyes, until he goes ahead and builds."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Sufyan al-Thawri (may Allah have mercy on him) except al-Muharibi, and no one narrated it from al-Muharibi except Yusuf bin Adi, and Abu Dharr is alone in narrating it."
