Abdullah bin Aun said: I consulted Muhammad (Ibn Sirin, may Allah have mercy on him) about building a house in a field. He replied: When you intend to lay the foundation, inform me. So when I came to him and we both started walking, suddenly a man came and began to walk behind them. Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) stopped and said: Do you need anything? He said: No. He said: If you have no need, then go. Then he turned to me and said: Go, you also go. So I too (left him and) went away by another path.
