It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out and saw a tall, lofty dome (building), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is this?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said that it belonged to a man from the Ansar. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent and kept this displeasure in his heart, until, when the owner of that building came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and greeted him in the presence of the people, he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his blessed face away from him. He did the same several times, until the man sensed his (peace and blessings be upon him) displeasure and aversion. So he complained of this to his companions and said: "By Allah! I sense a change in the manner of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) toward me; I do not know what has been said about me or what fault I have committed." The Companions told him that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had come out and seen that tall dome of his and had asked, "Whose is this?" and they had informed him (peace and blessings be upon him). On hearing this, the man went to his dome and pulled it down, levelling it with the ground. Then one day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out and did not see the dome. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Where has the dome gone that was here?" The Companions said that its owner had complained to them of his (peace and blessings be upon him) turning away from him, so they had told him the real reason, and he had demolished it. At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, every building that is built will be a burden for its owner on the Day of Resurrection, except a building that cannot be done without (that is, one built according to need)."
