وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: مَرَّ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَنَحْنُ نُعَالِجُ خُصًّا لَنَا فَقَالَ: " مَا هَذَا؟" فَقُلْنَا: قَدْ وهي، فَنَحْنُ نُصْلِحُهُ، فقال: " مَا أَرَى الأَمْرَ إِلاَّ أَعْجَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ". رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد، وَالتِّرْمِذِيّ بإسناد الْبُخَارِيّ ومسلم، وَقَالَ التِّرْمِذِيُّ: ((حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ)).
'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'as (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: We were repairing our thatchy hut when Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed by and asked us, "What are you doing?" We said, "The thatch had gone weak and we are repairing it." He (ﷺ) said, "I see the sure thing (death) approaching sooner than this." [Abu Dawud and At-Tirmdhi, who classified it as Hadith Hasan Sahih].
