اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا كُلْثُومُ بْنُ جَوْشَنٍ الْقُشَيْرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " التَّاجِرُ الْأَمِينُ الصَّدُوقُ الْمُسْلِمُ مَعَ الشُّهَدَاءِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
´It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` 'The trustworthy, honest Muslim merchant will be with the martyrs on the Day of Resurrection."
Brief Explanation
1؎: Truthfulness and trustworthiness in trade is a very difficult task; most traders lie and engage in usurious transactions. Therefore, if a trader is truthful, trustworthy, God-fearing, and pious, he will attain the rank of the martyrs. This is because, after his life, a person holds his wealth most dear—indeed, some even sacrifice their lives for wealth. Just as a martyr sacrifices his life in the path of Allah, similarly, a pious trader spends his wealth in the way of Allah and does not covet what is unlawful.
