English translation

2148. It was narrated that Nâfi' said: I used to send trade goods to Shâm and Egypt, then I prepared to send trade goods to 'Irâq. I went to 'Aîshah, the Mother of the Believers, and said to her: "O Mother of the Believers! I used to send trade goods to Shâm and I am preparing to send trade goods to 'Irâq." She said: "Do not do that. What is wrong with the way you have been doing it? I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: 'If Allâh causes provision to come to one of you through a certain means, he should not leave it unless it changes or deteriorates.'" (Da'if)

Arabic text

2148 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أُجَهِّزُ إِلَى الشَّامِ وَإِلَى مِصْرَ، فَجَهَّزْتُ إِلَى الْعِرَاقِ، فَأَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كُنْتُ أُجَهِّزُ إِلَى الشَّامِ، فَجَهَّزْتُ إِلَى الْعِرَاقِ، فَقَالَتْ: لَا تَفْعَلْ، مَا لَكَ وَلِمَتْجَرِكَ؟ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «إِذَا سَبَّبَ اللَّهُ لِأَحَدِكُمْ رِزْقًا مِنْ وَجْهٍ، فَلَا يَدَعْهُ حَتَّى يَتَغَيَّرَ لَهُ، أَوْ يَتَنَكَّرَ لَهُ»
