حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الرَّازِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زَافِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ شَبِيبِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ النَّفَقَةُ كُلُّهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ الْبِنَاءَ فَلاَ خَيْرَ فِيهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏ هَكَذَا قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ شَبِيبُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَبِيبُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ ‏.‏

Harithah bin Mudarrib said

"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 (s.a.w) 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."
