Mishkat al-Masabih 5184 — (Ar-riqaq) Words that soften the heart

Anas Narrated from:

Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم went out one day. We were along with him. He observed a building with a high dome and asked, "What is it?" His sahabah (Prophet's Companions) رضي الله عنهم said, "It belongs to such and such man of the ansar." He said nothing but retained it in his mind (displeased with it), till its owner came and offered salaam to him among the people. But, he turned away from him (Either he have no response or gave a response but turned away from him.) He did that many times (when the man offered salaam and he turned away).The man did, after all, realize that he was angry at him and had turned away because of him. So he complained of that to his sahabah (Prophet's Companions) رضي الله عنهم (who were close to him. He said, "By Allah, I feel Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم is displeased with me. (I have not seen such displeasure before but I do not know why?)" They said, "He had gone out and seen the dome." So, the man returned to his dome and pulled it down to ground level. One day, Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم went out again but did not find it. So, he asked, "What has happened to the building with the dome?" They said, "Its owner had complained to us of your turning away. So we informed him and he pulled it down. He then said (explaining when he was displeased Indeed every building is a burden (بال) for its owner (in the hereafter), except what cannot (لا مالا), except what cannot (لا مالا) - except that which is absolutely necessary."
