It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was walking with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a road in Madinah Munawwarah. On the way, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a dome made of unbaked bricks and asked: Whose is this? I said: Yes, it belongs to such-and-such person. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Beware! Every building will be thrown down upon its owner on the Day of Resurrection, except that which is used for the construction of a mosque, or for such-and-such matters. Later, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by the same road, he did not see the dome. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What happened to that dome? I said: When your words reached its owner, he demolished it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah have mercy on him.

Qais said: We went to visit Sayyiduna Khabbab bin Al-Aratt to look after him, while he was building a wall. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A Muslim is rewarded for everything he spends, except for the wealth that he spends on this earth. Sayyiduna Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) had been cauterized on seven spots on his stomach. He said: If the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had not forbidden us from praying for death, I would surely have prayed for it. Then he said: Some of our companions were such that they departed from this world, but the world could not diminish any of their reward, whereas after them, we have acquired so much wealth and possessions that we do not find any place for it except the earth.

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."

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Muslim Ashja’i (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) came to her while she was in her dome. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "How beautiful this is, provided that there was no death in it." She says: Then I began to search for it.
