Chapter 43 · General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)مَا جَاءَ فِي الْبِنَاءِ
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي السَّفَرِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا أُطَيِّنُ حَائِطًا لِي أَنَا وَأُمِّي، فَقَالَ: مَا هَذَا يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ؟، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، شَيْءٌ أُصْلِحُهُ، فَقَالَ: الْأَمْرُ أَسْرَعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ .

Regarding building
The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم came upon us when my mother and I were plastering a wall of mine. He asked: What is this, Abdullah ? I replied: It is something I am repairing. He said! The matter is quicker for you than that.
