Jami` at-Tirmidhi: Book 36, Hadith 32

Abu As-Safr narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr said: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) passed by us while we were repairing a hut of ours, so he said: ‘What is this?’ We said:”It has become weak, so we are repairing it.’ He said: ‘I do not think but that the matter (of life) is more in fleeting than that.”

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي السَّفَرِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ مَرَّ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَنَحْنُ نُعَالِجُ خُصًّا لَنَا فَقَالَ ‏”‏ مَا هَذَا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْنَا قَدْ وَهَى فَنَحْنُ نُصْلِحُهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ مَا أُرَى الأَمْرَ إِلاَّ أَعْجَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَأَبُو السَّفَرِ اسْمُهُ سَعِيدُ بْنُ يُحْمِدَ وَيُقَالُ ابْنُ أَحْمَدَ الثَّوْرِيُّ ‏.‏
