Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Due to false oaths, there appears to be an increase in wealth, but the trader is deprived of the blessing (barakah) sent down by Allah Ta'ala. Whereas the fundamental thing is the blessing of Allah Ta'ala; all other matters are secondary and superficial. If blessing (barakah) is present, even a small amount of wealth suffices, and if there is no blessing, then the owner cannot live a life of peace at all.
