SAYINGS OF THE MESSENGER
(SallAllaahu
‘Alayhi wa ‘Aalihii Wasallam)
Business and Trading & Unfair Dealings in Business
91. Sayyidina
Abu Sa’eed Khudri (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
The truthful and honest merchant will be with the Prophets, the truthful and
the martyrs (on the day of Resurrection). (Tabarani, Darimi,
92. Sayyidina
Jabir (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
May Allah have mercy on him who is gentle when he sells, when he buys, and when
he demands his rights. (Bukhari, Mishkat)
93. Sayyidina
Huzayfah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
There was a man among the people gone by to whom the Angels came to take his
soul. He was then asked if he had done any good deed. He said, “I do not know.”
He was asked to think it over. He said, “I do not know of any good deed I may
have done other than dealing gently and kindly in buying and selling
transactions with other people. I allowed the rich time and let offer the
poor.” Allah sent him to Paradise for that. (Bukhari, Muslim)
94. Sayyidina
Mu’aaz bin Jabal (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
The best of the incomes belongs to those merchants who do not lie when they
speak, do not misappropriate when they hold trusts, do not betray their
promises, do not blame (the merchandise for defect) when they buy, do not
(shower with) praise what they sell, do not dilly-dally when they have to pay
someone and do not browbeat one who has to pay them. (Bayhaqi, Targheeb)
95. Sayyidina
Abu Qataadah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
Refrain from swearing much while transacting business for it may increase
business (in the beginning) but brings destruction (later). (Muslim)
96. Sayyidina
Rifa’ah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
All the merchants will be raised on the day of Resurrection as evil-doers
except those who fear Allah, are pious and speak the truth. (Tirmizi)
98. Sayyidina
‘Abdullah bin Mas’ood (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
He who adulterates while dealing with us is not one of us and those who cheat
and act fraudulently will go to Hell. (Tabarani)
99. Sayyidina
‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar(Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
If a people are given to indecency to such an extent that they commit obscenity
openly they will face pestilence. Such maladies will grow among them the like
of which their forefathers had not faced. The people who cheat in measure will
suffer famine and grave difficulties and their rulers will oppress them. The
people who do not pay Zakaah on their property will be prevented rain from the
skies and if there are no animals they will never get rainfall. The people who
break their covenant with Allah and His Messenger will have Allah put over them
an enemy from among strangers who snatches from their hands their wealth. And
whenever the rulers of a people do not judge according to the Book of Allah and
waver in obeying the commands of Allah then Allah causes civil disobedience to
grow among them. (Ibn Majah)
101. Sayyidina ‘Umar bin al-Khattab (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
If anyone hoards grain (away) from the Muslims, Allah will punish him with
leprosy and poverty. (Ibn Majah)
102. Sayyidina ‘Adullah bin ‘Umar (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
If anyone withholds an edible for forty days then he has given up Allah and
Allah is absolved of him. And, if anyone is hungry in the morning in the
courtyard of a people then Allah is absolved of responsibility to those
people. (Ahmad, Targheeb)
103. Sayyidina Ma’qil bin Yasaar (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
If anyone interferes in the market of Muslims to create a rise in prices then
Allah has the right to cast him face down in Hell. (Haakim, Targheeb)
105. Sayyidina
Nu’maan bin Basheer (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
If anyone cheats his partner in a matter in which the partner had regarded him
as trustworthy and had appointed him as his manager then I absolve Myself of
his person. (Abu Ya’laa,Bayhaqi)
Unfair Dealings in
Business
106. Sayyidina
Jabir (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) cursed him who takes interest, and
who gives it, who witnessed the deal. He said that they are all alike.(Muslim)
1. Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
People
will see a time surely when there is no one who has not received interest and
if there is anyone who has not, he surely has felt its dust on him(that is, its
effects).(Ahmad, Abu Dawood)
109.
Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
The sin
against interest is made up of seventy parts, the least degree is as if he
committed adultery his mother.(Ibn Majah, Mishkat)
110. Sayyidina samurah bin Jundab (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
Tonight I dreamt that two men came to me and took me to a sacred place and we
went on until we arrived at a river of blood in the middle of which was a man
while another man stood at its bank and had plenty of stones before him. The
man in the middle of the river tried to come out of it but the one at the bank
hurled a stone on his mouth forcing him to return to his original place. In
this way, whenever he tried to come out, the other threw a stone on his mouth
and compelled him to go back to his place. I asked “Who is this?” and was told
that the man in the river was the one who took interest. (Bukhari)
112. Sayyidina ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
If anyone buys food grain then he must not re-sell it until he receives
possession of it.(Bukhari, Muslims)
113
Sayyidina ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
A man must not quote more than the amount offered by his brother, and no one
should make a proposal of marriage over the proposal of his brother unless he
has his consent. (Muslims)
114. Sayyidina
Jabir (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)
Let not a city-dweller sell for a villager (or a man from the desert). Leave
people alone and Allah will provide them provision through one another.
(Muslim, Mishkat)
