THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 16th day of Rajab, 1445AH (Sunday, 28th January 2024).
*_HOW TO DO BUSINESS, THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD sallallahu alaihi wasallam recommendations continues_*. BismilLah.
The Prophet (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) used to enjoin traders to be righteous and honest and to give charity.
It was narrated that Hakim ibn Hizam (may ALLAH be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of ALLAH (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) said: “The two parties to a transaction have the option (of cancelling it) until they part. If they are honest and disclose any defects, their transaction will be blessed, but if they lie and conceal defects, the blessing of their transaction will be erased.” (Narrated by Al-Bukhari, 1973 and Muslim, 1532)
The Prophet (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) saw the people engaging in trade. He said: “O merchants!” and they responded to the Messenger of ALLAH (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), craning their necks and looking up at him. He (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him said, “The merchants will be raised on the Day of Resurrection as evildoers, apart from those who fear ALLAH and are sincere and honest.” (Narrated by At-Tirmidhi, 1210; Ibn Majah, 2146; classed as authentic by Al-Albani in Sahih At-Targhib, 1785). These two narrations clearly show that honesty and fairness in business bring blessings to our earnings. You may have plenty of money but lack good health, lack peace of mind, relationship problems, rebellion from your children and partner, etc due to our lack of fairness and honesty in dealing with others. To be continued tomorrow in shaaALLAH. *_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.
