The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 ﷺ said: I see that the command is quicker than that.

مَرَّ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نُعَالِجُ خُصًّا لَنَا وَهَى فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا فَقُلْنَا خُصٌّ لَنَا وَهَى فَنَحْنُ نُصْلِحُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا أَرَى الأَمْرَ إِلاَّ أَعْجَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by us while we were repairing a hut of ours, so he said: 'What is this?' We said:"It has become weak, so we are repairing it.' He said: 'I do not think but that the matter (of life) is more in fleeting than that."

مَرَّ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نُعَالِجُ خُصًّا لَنَا فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا فَقُلْنَا قَدْ وَهَى فَنَحْنُ نُصْلِحُهُ قَالَ مَا أُرَى الأَمْرَ إِلاَّ أَعْجَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by us when we were fixing a hut of ours, and said: ‘What is this?’ I said: ‘It is a hut of ours that has fallen into disrepair.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘The matter (of death) may come sooner than that.’”

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by us while we were repairing something specifically for ourselves. He asked, "What is this?" We replied, "Something specifically for us, and we are repairing it." He then said, "Verily, the matter (referring to the act of repairing) is more urgent than that."

مَرَّ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نُصْلِحُ خُصًّا لَنَا فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا؟ قُلْنَا خُصًّا لَنَا وَهَى فَنَحْنُ نُصْلِحُهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ الْأَمْرَ أَعْجَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ passed by me while my mother and I were fixing something separately for ourselves. He said, "What is this, Abdullah?" I said, "It is something we are fixing for ourselves." He said, "There are more urgent matters than this."
