We learn it from Chana-
היא מדברת על לבה, קולה לא ישמע, רק שפתי נעות

"ונתתיו לה' כל ימי חייו"... "עד יגמל הנער"

Penina would anger Chana and try and hurt her in order that she should daven harder. She really had good intentions. Yet even if one has good intentions if someone else is getting hurt- than it's not good. We don't build on shabbos since that is Assur even if its the bais hamikdash
