حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخُزَاعِيُّ ، وَالْحَجَّاجُ ، وَالْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ ، قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " كَانَ زَكَرِيَّا نَجَّارًا " .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` "Zakariyya was a carpenter."

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Carpentry is a good profession through which a believer can earn lawful sustenance by the labor of his own hands. Prophet Nuh (alayhis salam) also, by the command of Allah, built a wooden ark. (: Surah Hud, 11:37, 38)
➋ No lawful profession should be considered insignificant. The truly contemptible and disgraceful act is for a person to earn a livelihood through unlawful means, or to adopt a profession that is prohibited according to the Shari‘ah.
