When the Bedouin returned with his dates, the Prophet of Rahmah, the Intercessor of the Ummah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was present among the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم. He humbly said, ‘جَزَاكَ اللّٰهُ خَيۡرًا! (May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ give you a good reward) You gave what was due to me in a very good manner.’ The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Amongst people the best are those who give the whole share in a good manner.’ (Subul-ul-Huda, vol. 7, pp. 20)

خُلقِ عظیم سے مجھے حصہ عطا کرو!        بے جا ہنسی کی خصلتِ بَد کو نکال دو

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

5 Adopt the policy of honesty in trade.

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you noticed! The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was very forgiving and extremely kind and tolerant. Despite having the power to take revenge, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم forgave the one who accused him of denying the purchase in public, and displayed excellent manners. From this narration, we have also learnt that during buying and selling in business one should be tolerant, truthful and honest. If someone says something that is painful to the one who is either a salesman or a buyer, then in order to store good deeds for the Hereafter, he should remain tolerant. By taking revenge, hatred will develop with each other besides adding fuel to the fire. By using offensive language and laying allegations, a person may start committing grave sins. Therefore, each of us must exhibit patience and not only protect ourselves but also try to protect others from sins instead of being angry, staring angrily others and exaggerating the situation. We should treat everyone well as this has great blessings.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa’labah Khushani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has narrated that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘Undoubtedly amongst you the most beloved and the closest to me in the Hereafter will be that person who will have the best manners, and amongst you the person I dislike the most and who will be far away from me in the Hereafter will be that person who has the worst of manners.’

(Al-Musnad Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal, vo. 6, pp. 220, Raqm 17747)
