The researcher studied the confusion that may occur among some when looking at the tradition in which building houses is disparaged. It is something bad for its owner. These traditions say that what a Muslim spends on building a house and the like is not rewarded for it, rather it may be charged. These Traditions are matched by other traditions that indicate the legitimacy of the building because the Prophet (PBUH) built it. It confirms the legitimacy of the building. The researcher studied the Traditions on this topic and studied the apparent confusion in them critically.

The most important of which are: there is only two authentic traditions in which building houses is disparaged, the first one is narrated by Khabbab, the second by Anas may Allah be pleased with them. And (7) weak Traditions could be treated and only one Tradition narrated by Ibn Masaud which is strongly weak could not be treated.

That means a kind of building in the case of one person may be considered extravagant, and in another case it is permissible. The best of guidance is the guidance of the Prophet (PBUH) in all matters, building is one of them. His build was only according to his needs, and the needs of his household, along with his goodness. So, he is far from being arrogant and proud.
