17. Ahmad has narrated from Ali from Ahmad ibn Ishaq ibn Sa‘d al-Ash’ariy from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sa‘id al-Daghshiy who has said the following: “Once I was at the door of Shihab ibn ‘Abde Rabbihi when the slave of Shihab came out and said,

‘I want to ask Hashim al-Saydananiy about the Hadith on “price and merchandise.’” He (the narrator) has said, ‘I then visited Hashim and asked him about that Hadith.’ He (Hashim) said, “I asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about this Hadith and he (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, whoever has a merchandise or goods with him, Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, sends someone to profit him. He may accept such profit, otherwise, it is turned away from him to others; it is a rejection of the favor of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious.”””
