Continuation of the explanation of the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: (… so he said, "I do not see the matter as anything but more urgent than that").

The Shaykh : But at the same time, this other benefit, excuse me, I forgot to point it out:
The first benefit: He did not forbid him from plastering; he approved of it.
But the other benefit: When he drew his attention to what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted, which is to make the world seem insignificant and to encourage focusing on the Hereafter, by saying:
In this phrase, the purpose the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) aimed for is realized, which is: urging the Muslim and reminding him not to rush after the world, and not to let the world distract him from what is obligatory upon him regarding the performance of the worship of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and obedience to Him. This is the intent of this hadith; the intent is not "do not plaster the wall," so we must understand this well. That is because he approved of Ibn 'Umar plastering his wall and its plaster, but from another angle, he said to him: whatever you plaster, what comes after that? It is nothing but death, which Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has decreed for every living being.
So in this hadith, there is a reminder, all the more so, of a matter that the majority of Muslims today are afflicted with: that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he said to the one who plasters his wall built of clay, built from clay, plastering it with clay, if he said to him: what will the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) say to these people of moderate status, let alone those above them in their status, wealth, and abundance, who build structures that last for years and long years, and then they do not stop there but adorn and decorate them with various types of decorations, not being content, for example, with lighting electric chandelers, but adding to that what they call chandeliers, decorated chandelers that have no benefit except mere decoration, the decoration of the world. So we must take from this hadith that we should not place many hopes on our life here in the world, so that we build as if we are not thinking about death or as if death is not before us. Perhaps for this reason, the author followed the previous hadith with the subsequent hadith of Ibn Mas'ud, which is also authentic.
