Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم came upon us when my mother and I were plastering a wall of mine. He asked: What is this, Abdullah ? I replied: It is something I am repairing. He said! The matter is quicker for you than that.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by al-Amash through a different chain of narrators. This version has: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم came upon me when we were repairing our cottage that was broken. He asked: What is this? We replied: This cottage of ours has broken and we are repairing it. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: I see that the command is quicker than that.
