needs. A successful businessman should make his mind to trust in the One and Only Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, Who has taken the responsibility of the livelihood of every living being, for the fulfilment of his needs.

میں جھوٹ نہ بولوں کبھی گالی نہ نکالوں

الله مرض سے تُو گناہوں کے شِفا دے

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

The Zikr of Sayyiduna Zubayr Bin Awwam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ is also being done besides listening to the attributes of a successful businessman. Let’s listen to the faith-refreshing parable in which the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم called the sixth companion of the ‘Asharah Mubashsharah, Sayyiduna Zubayr Bin ‘Awwam with the following, رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ ‘فِدَاكَ اَبِيۡ وَاُمِّيۡ’:

The saying of ‘فِدَاكَ اَبِيۡ وَاُمِّيۡ’ of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللّٰہ تعالٰی علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin Zubayr رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said that on the occasion of the battle of Ahzaab (8 Shawwal or Zul-Qa’da-til-Haraam, 5 AH) Sayyiduna ‘Umar Bin Abi Salamah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ and I were on duty of guarding the women. Suddenly I saw my respectable father, Sayyiduna Zubayr Bin ‘Awwam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ visiting the Banu Qurayzah two or three times. Upon his return its reason was asked, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ then replied, ‘O my son! Did you really see me?’ I humbly said, ‘Yes!’ he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked who would retrieve the news of Bani Qurayzah? That’s why I carried out this service and when I reached the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, then the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم bringing his blessed parents together said, ‘فِدَاكَ اَبِيۡ وَاُمِّيۡ’ i.e. O Zubayr, may my mother and father be sacrificed upon you! (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 2, pp. 539 Hadees 3720)
