2150 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخُزَاعِيُّ، وَالْحَجَّاجُ، وَالْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «كَانَ زَكَرِيَّا نَجَّارًا»

Commentary
Carpentry and woodwork is a good profession, through which a believer can earn lawful livelihood with his hands. Prophet Nuh (Noah) also built a wooden ark with Allāh's command. (Surah Hud 11: 37-38). No profession should be disregarded. Disregard is that a person chooses unlawful means to earn a livelihood or he/she adopts a profession which is unlawful according to Shari'ah.
