Hadith.3721 - Harun ibn Hamzah narrated from Ali ibn Abdul Aziz who said: Abu Abdillah (as) asked: "What has Umar ibn Muslim done?" I said: "May I be your ransom! He has devoted himself to worship and abandoned trade." Imam (as) said: "Woe to him! Does he not know that the one who abandons seeking sustenance will not have his supplication answered? Indeed, some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family), when the verse was revealed; 'And whoever fears Allah (swt), He will make a way out for him, and provide for him from where he does not expect' (Surah At-Talaq 65:2-3), they locked their doors and devoted themselves to worship, saying, 'We have been guaranteed provision.' When the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) heard about this, he sent for them and said: 'What led you to do what you have done?' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah (swt), Allah (swt), the Mighty and Exalted, has guaranteed our provision, so we have devoted ourselves to worship.' He (sw) said: 'Whoever does this, Allah (swt) will not answer his supplication. You must continue seeking sustenance.' Then Imam (as) said: 'I hate a man who sits idle, opening his mouth to his Lord (azj), saying, "Provide for me," while he abandons seeking sustenance.'"

3722 - وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "اِتَّجِرُوا بَارَكَ اَللَّهُ لَكُمْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَقُولُ "إِنَّ اَلرِّزْقَ عَشَرَةُ أَجْزَاءٍ تِسْعَةٌ فِي اَلتِّجَارَةِ وَ وَاحِدٌ فِي غَيْرِهَا" ".

Hadith.3722 - The Commander of the Faithful (as) said: "Engage in trade - may Allah (swt) bless you - for I heard the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) say, 'Provision is divided into ten parts, nine of which are in trade, and one in other means.'"

3723 - وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "تَعَرَّضُوا لِلتِّجَارَةِ فَإِنَّ فِيهَا لَكُمْ غِنًى عَمَّا فِي أَيْدِي اَلنَّاسِ".

Hadith.3725 - The Commander of the Faithful (as) said: "Whoever engages in trade without knowledge will fall into usury, and then fall into it again. Therefore, no one should sit in the marketplace except one who understands buying and selling."

3726 - وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ ، بِالْكُوفَةِ يَغْتَدِي كُلَّ بُكْرَةٍ فَيَطُوفُ فِي أَسْوَاقِ اَلْكُوفَةِ سُوقاً سُوقاً وَ مَعَهُ اَلدِّرَّةُ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ وَ كَانَ لَهَا طَرَفَانِ وَ كَانَتْ تُسَمَّى اَلسَّبِيبَةَ قَالَ فَيَقِفُ عَلَى أَهْلِ كُلِّ سُوقٍ فَيُنَادِيهِمْ "يَا مَعْشَرَ اَلتُّجَّارِ قَدِّمُوا اَلاِسْتِخَارَةَ وَ تَبَرَّكُوا بِالسُّهُولَةِ وَ اِقْتَرِبُوا مِنَ اَلْمُبْتَاعِينَ وَ تَزَيَّنُوا بِالْحِلْمِ وَ تَجَافَوْا عَنِ اَلظُّلْمِ وَ أَنْصِفُوا اَلْمَظْلُومِينَ وَ لاَ تَقْرَبُوا اَلرِّبَا "وَ أَوْفُوا اَلْكَيْلَ وَ اَلْمِيزٰانَ" "وَ لاٰ تَبْخَسُوا اَلنّٰاسَ أَشْيٰاءَهُمْ وَ لاٰ تَعْثَوْا فِي اَلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ" " قَالَ فَيَطُوفُ فِي جَمِيعِ أَسْوَاقِ اَلْكُوفَةِ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فَيَقْعُدُ لِلنَّاسِ.

Hadith.3726 - Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) used to go out every morning in Kufa and walk through its markets, visiting them one by one.

Begin with seeking goodness (from Allah (swt)), bless your trade with ease, draw near to the buyers, adorn yourselves with patience, avoid oppression, give justice to the oppressed, and do not approach usury. 'And give full measure and weight' and 'Do not diminish people's goods, nor act corruptly in the land, making mischief.'" Then Imam (as) would continue walking through all the markets of Kufa before returning to sit and attend to the people's needs.

3727 - وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : "مَنْ بَاعَ وَ اِشْتَرَى فَلْيَحْفَظْ خَمْسَ خِصَالٍ وَ إِلاَّ فَلاَ يَشْتَرِيَنَّ وَ لاَ يَبِيعَنَّ اَلرِّبَا وَ اَلْحَلْفَ وَ كِتْمَانَ اَلْعُيُوبِ وَ اَلْمَدْحَ إِذَا بَاعَ وَ اَلذَّمَّ إِذَا اِشْتَرَى ".

Hadith.3731 - It is narrated from Al-Asbagh ibn Nubatah who said: I heard Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) saying from the pulpit: "O group of traders! Learn jurisprudence, then engage in trade. Learn jurisprudence, then engage in trade. By Allah (swt), usury in this nation is more hidden than the crawling of an ant on a smooth stone. Protect your wealth through charity. The trader is sinful, and the sinful one is in the Fire-except the one who takes what is right and gives what is right."

3732 - وَ رَوَى حَفْصُ بْنُ اَلْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْمُنْذِرِ قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ دَفَعَتْ إِلَيَّ اِمْرَأَتِي مَالاً أَعْمَلُ بِهِ مَا شِئْتُ فَأَشْتَرِي مِنْ مَالِهَا اَلْجَارِيَةَ أَطَأُهَا قَالَ "لاَ إِنَّمَا دَفَعَتْ إِلَيْكَ لِتَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَ أَنْتَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُسْخِنَ عَيْنَهَا".

3733 - وَ رَوَى عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ مُيَسِّرٍ قَالَ : قُلْتُ لَهُ يَجِيئُنِي اَلرَّجُلُ فَيَقُولُ تَشْتَرِي لِي فَيَكُونُ مَا عِنْدِي خَيْراً مِنْ مَتَاعِ اَلسُّوقِ قَالَ "إِنْ أَمِنْتَ أَلاَّ يَتَّهِمَكَ فَأَعْطِهِ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَ إِنْ خِفْتَ أَنْ يَتَّهِمَكَ فَاشْتَرِ لَهُ مِنَ اَلسُّوقِ".

Hadith.3733 - Uthman ibn Isa narrated from Muyassir who said: I said to Him (as): "A man comes to me and asks me to buy something for him, but what I have is better than what is available in the market.

3734 - وَ رَوَى إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ : "أَنْزَلَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى بَعْضِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ لِلْكَرِيمِ فَكَارِمْ وَ لِلسَّمْحِ فَسَامِحْ وَ لِلشَّحِيحِ فَشَاحِحْ وَ عِنْدَ اَلشَّكِسِ فَالْتَوِ".

3735 - وَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَقُولُ : "اَلسَّمَاحُ وَجْهٌ مِنَ اَلرَّبَاحِ" قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "ذَلِكَ لِرَجُلٍ يُوصِيهِ وَ مَعَهُ سِلْعَةٌ يَبِيعُهَا".
