earned because of you. After the buying and selling, the caravan set off to return home. During the journey, Maysarah saw that at noon when the intensity of heat increased, two angels started giving shelter to the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم for protection from the sun. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ developed the love for the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in the heart of Maysarah, therefore, he behaved with the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم as if he had been his slave. When the Greatest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم reached Sayyidatuna Khadijah رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا and informed her about the profit that was earned, she رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا became very pleased. Furthermore, when she رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا saw so much profit in her trade, compared to previous years, she presented twice as much wages than she decided to pay the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. (Subul-ul-Huda, vol. 2, pp. 158, 159, 160)

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you noticed! How honestly the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم sold the goods and proved himself to be trustworthy. He gave us a message that it is the responsibility of every Muslim especially one who is a businessman to protect the goods of people and not to be dishonest in them. It is stated in a blessed Hadees: Undoubtedly the most purified earning is of those traders who do not tell a lie when they speak, do not act deceitfully when they are entrusted with something, do not break a promise when they make it. (Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 4, pp. 221, Hadees 4854)

Remember! To be dishonest in something that is kept in your safekeeping (Amanat) is Haraam and an act leading to Hell. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has commanded us to abstain from being dishonest in Amanat (deposit). It is stated in verse 27 of Surah Al-Anfaal, part 9:

یٰۤاَ یُّہَا  الَّذِیۡنَ  اٰمَنُوۡ ا  لَا   تَخُوۡنُوا  اللّٰہَ

وَ الرَّ سُوۡلَ  وَ  تَخُوۡنُوۡۤا   اَمٰنٰتِکُمۡ   وَ  اَنۡتُمۡ   تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ  ﴿۲۷﴾

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: O People who believe! Do not betray Allah and His Noble Messenger, nor purposely defraud your trusts.

(Part 9, Surah Al-Anfaal, verse 27)
