١٢٠٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌هَنَّادٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌قَبِيصَةُ، عَنْ ‌سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي حَمْزَةَ ، عَنِ ‌الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «التَّاجِرُ الصَّدُوقُ الْأَمِينُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الثَّوْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ. وَأَبُو حَمْزَةَ اسْمَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَابِرٍ، وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ بَصْرِيٌّ. ١٢٠٩ (م) - حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ ‌سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، - بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ.

Commentary

Business or trading is an honesty testing profession. Usually in business it appears that if the rule of honesty is applied it will lead to a loss and if the norms of expediency according to the need of the time are adopted it will lead to profit, but, the businessman who has trust in Allāh and deals with honesty and in accordance with the standards of Islam, then it is he, in reality, who is successful in the test. For this reason on the Day of Judgement he will be with the Prophets, the truthful, and the martyrs.
