"إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيُؤْجَرُ فِي نَفَقَتِه كلها إِلَّا في الْبِنَاءِ ".
"We went to visit Khabbab who had himself cauterized in seven places on his body. He said: 'I have been ill for so long, and if it was not that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "None of you should wish for death" then I would have wished for it, and he said: "A man is rewarded for [all of] his spending except for the dust" - or he said - "in the building."
أَتَيْنَا خَبَّابًا نَعُودُهُ وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعَ كَيَّاتٍ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ تَطَاوَلَ مَرَضِي وَلَوْلاَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ تَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ لَتَمَنَّيْتُ وَقَالَ يُؤْجَرُ الرَّجُلُ فِي نَفَقَتِهِ كُلِّهَا إِلاَّ التُّرَابَ أَوْ قَالَ فِي الْبِنَاءِ
“We came to Khabbab to visit him (when he was sick), and he said: ‘I have been sick for a long time, and were it not that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “Do not wish for death,” I would have wished for it.’ And he said: “A person will be rewarded for all his spending, except for (what he spends) on dust,” or he said, “on building.”
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ تَتَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ لَتَمَنَّيْتُهُ وَقَالَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيُؤْجَرُ فِي نَفَقَتِهِ كُلِّهَا إِلاَّ فِي التُّرَابِ أَوْ قَالَ فِي الْبِنَاءِ
"يُؤْجَرُ الرَّجُلُ فِى نَفَقَتِهِ كُلِّهَا إِلَّا فِى التُّرَابِ".
