1258. 'Urwah Al-Bāriqī said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ gave me one Dīnār to purchase a sheep for him. So I purchased two sheeps for him, and I sold one of them for a Dīnār. So I returned with the sheep and the Dīnār to the Prophet ﷺ, and I mentioned what had happened and he said: 'May Allāh bless you in your business dealings.' After that he went to Kunāsah in Al-Kūfah, and he made tremendous profits. He was among the wealthiest of the people of Al-Kūfah." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
Some A'immah and scholars, on the basis of this narration, have approved of making a profit with the money of others without their permission, and giving the profit to them. 'Urwah purchased two goats with the money given to him by the Prophet ﷺ, without the permission of the Prophet ﷺ, whereas the money was given to him for the purchase of one goat. He sold one goat and earned one Dīnār. He returned to the Prophet ﷺ with a goat and Dīnār. The Prophet ﷺ appreciated his sentiments and invoked Allāh's blessings for him.
