حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَّامٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَّامٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَّامٍ يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ ،أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدَّثَهُ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا فَتَحْنَا خَيْبَرَ أَخْرَجُوا غَنَائِمَهُمْ مِنَ الْمَتَاعِ وَالسَّبْيِ ، فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَتَبَايَعُونَ غَنَائِمَهُمْ ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ حِينَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ رَبِحْتُ رِبْحًا مَا رَبِحَ الْيَوْمَ مِثْلَهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ هَذَا الْوَادِي قَالَ : وَيْحَكَ وَمَا رَبِحْتَ ؟ قَالَ : مَا زِلْتُ أَبِيعُ وَأَبْتَاعُ حَتَّى رَبِحْتُ ثَلَاثَ مِائَةِ أُوقِيَّةٍ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَا أُنَبِّئُكَ بِخَيْرِ رَجُلٍ رَبِحَ ، قَالَ : مَا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ " .
Narrated A man from the Companions of the Prophet: Ubaydullah ibn Salman reported on the authority of a man from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ: When we conquered Khaybar, they (the people) took out their spoils which contained equipment and captives. The people began to buy and sell their spoils. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed, a man came to him and said: Messenger of Allah, I have gained today so much so that no one gained from this valley. He asked: Woe unto you, how much did you gain? He replied: I kept on selling and buying until I gained three hundred uqiyahs. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I tell you a man who gained better than you. He asked: What is that, Messenger of Allah? He replied! Two rak'ahs (of supererogatory prayer) after the (obligatory) prayer.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
There is no doubt that, during travel for jihad, engaging in trade is not legally objectionable (shar'an). Such a trader will receive the full reward for jihad and his share of the spoils (ghanimah). Just as engaging in trade during the journey of Hajj is permissible and allowed. It is stated in the Noble Qur’an:
(Laysa ‘alaykum junahun an tabtaghu fadlan min rabbikum) ( al-Baqarah 198) — "There is no sin upon you that you seek bounty from your Lord."
However, if in these blessed journeys, someone’s sole purpose is only trade, and jihad or Hajj is merely for show, then for every person there is only that which he intended.
Shaykh al-Albani (rahimahullah) has declared this narration to be weak (da‘if).
