حَدَّثَنَا
الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي
أَبِي , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي
الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ
نَافِعٍ , قَالَ : يَعْنِي : أَبَا عَاصِمٍ , قَالَ أَبِي : وَلَا أَدْرِي مَنْ هُوَ , يَعْنِي : نَافِعٌ هَذَا , قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَتَّجِرُ إِلَى الشَّامِ , أَوْ إِلَى مِصْرَ , قَالَ : فَتَجَهَّزْتُ إِلَى الْعِرَاقِ , فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى
عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ , فَقُلْتُ : يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ , إِنِّي قَدْ تَجَهَّزْتُ إِلَى الْعِرَاقِ , فَقَالَتْ : مَا لَكَ وَلِمَتْجَرِكَ , إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ :
" إِذَا كَانَ لِأَحَدِكُمْ رِزْقٌ فِي شَيْءٍ , فَلَا يَدَعْهُ حَتَّى يَتَغَيَّرَ لَهُ , أَوْ يَتَنَكَّرَ لَهُ " فَأَتَيْتُ الْعِرَاقَ , ثُمَّ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهَا , فَقُلْتُ : يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ , وَاللَّهِ مَا رَدَدْتُ الرَّأْسَ مَالٍ , فَأَعَادَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدِيثَ , أَوْ قَالَتْ الْحَدِيثُ كَمَا حَدَّثْتُكَ.
Nafi' says that I used to trade in Shaam or Egypt. Once, I prepared to go to Iraq, but before departing, I presented myself before Umm al-Mu'mineen, Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), and said to her, "O Umm al-Mu'mineen! I have prepared to go to Iraq." She said, "Why are you leaving your place of trade?" I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When the sustenance of any one of you is attached to something, he should not leave it unless there is a change in it or it becomes corrupted." However, I still went to Iraq. Upon my return, I again presented myself before Umm al-Mu'mineen and said, "O Umm al-Mu'mineen! By Allah, I could not even recover my original capital." She said, "I had already narrated this hadith to you."
