وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي زَكَرِيَّا، عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ قَالَ:
كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي جَانِبٍ مِنْ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ ؓ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَأَبْصَرَ قُبَّةً مَبْنِيَّةً فَقَالَ ﷺ: « يَا أَنَسُ، لِمَنْ هَذِهِ الْقُبَّةُ ؟ » فَقُلْتُ: لِفُلَانٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « كُلُّ بِنَاءٍ وَبَالٌ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا بِنَاءَ كَفَافٍ ». فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ ؓ فَكَسَّرَهَا، ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَلَمْ يَرَهَا فَقَالَ ﷺ: « يَا أَنَسُ، مَا فَعَلَتِ الْقُبَّةُ ؟ » قُلْتُ: بَلَغَ صَاحِبَهَا قَوْلُكَ ; فَكَسَّرَهَا. قَالَ ﷺ: « غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ »

✧ I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a part of the houses of the Ansar ؓ, and he raised his head and saw a dome that had been built. He ﷺ said: «O Anas, whose dome is this?» I said: It belongs to so-and-so. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: «Every building is a burden on its owner on the Day of Resurrection, except a building that is just sufficient.» That reached the Ansari man ؓ, and he broke it down. Then the Prophet ﷺ passed by after that and did not see it, so he ﷺ said: «O Anas, what happened to the dome?» I said: Its owner heard your words and broke it down. He ﷺ said: «May Allah forgive him.»
