حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْأَسَدِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ:‏‏‏‏ أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ،‏‏‏‏ فَرَأَى قُبَّةً مُشْرِفَةً،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا هَذِهِ ؟ قَالَ لَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ:‏‏‏‏ هَذِهِ لِفُلَانٍ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَسَكَتَ وَحَمَلَهَا فِي نَفْسِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ فِي النَّاسِ،‏‏‏‏ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ،‏‏‏‏ صَنَعَ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا حَتَّى عَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ الْغَضَبَ فِيهِ،‏‏‏‏ وَالْإِعْرَاضَ عَنْهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُنْكِرُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ خَرَجَ،‏‏‏‏ فَرَأَى قُبَّتَكَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَرَجَعَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى قُبَّتِهِ فَهَدَمَهَا،‏‏‏‏ حَتَّى سَوَّاهَا بِالْأَرْضِ،‏‏‏‏ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَلَمْ يَرَهَا،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا فَعَلَتِ الْقُبَّةُ ؟،‏‏‏‏ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ شَكَا إِلَيْنَا صَاحِبُهَا إِعْرَاضَكَ عَنْهُ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ فَهَدَمَهَا،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَا إِنَّ كُلَّ بِنَاءٍ وَبَالٌ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ،‏‏‏‏ إِلَّا مَا لَا إِلَّا مَا لَا يَعْنِي مَا لَا بُدَّ مِنْهُ .

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم came out, and on seeing a high-domed building, he said: What is it? His companions replied to him: It belongs to so and so, one of the Ansar. He said: he said nothing but kept the matter in mind. When its owner came and gave him a greeting among the people, he turned away from him. When he had done this several times, the man realized that he was the cause of the anger and the rebuff. So he complained about it to his companions, saying: I swear by Allah that I cannot understand the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. They said: He went out and saw your domed building. So the man returned to it and demolished it, levelling it to the ground. One day the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم came out and did not see it. He asked: What has happened to the domed building? They replied: Its owner complained to us about your rebuff, and when we informed him about it, he demolished it. He said: Every building is a misfortune for its owner, except what cannot, except what cannot, meaning except that which is essential.
