marketplace daily, and in a short space of time, he رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ became quite wealthy and gathered enough wealth that he رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ got married and began to run his own house.

When he رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ presented himself in the court of the Beloved Prophet
صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked, ‘How much dowry did you give your wife?’ He رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ replied, ‘Gold equivalent to 5 Dirhams.’ (Bukhari, vol. 2, p. 554, Hadees 3780) The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘May Allah Almighty bless you! Organise a Waleemah even if it is one goat.’ (Bukhari, vol. 2, p. 555, Hadees 3781)

Gradually, so much blessings and success were placed in the business of Sayyiduna Abdur-Rahman Bin ‘Awf رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ that he himself said, ‘Even if I touch dust, it becomes gold.’ It is narrated: His business goods would be loaded onto 700 camels and when his merchandise would arrive in Madinah, the entire city would become overjoyed.’ (Usd-ul-Ghaabah, Abdur-Rahman Bin ‘Awf, vol. 3, p. 498, summarised)

Just like Sayyiduna Abdur-Rahman Bin ‘Awf رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ, other Muhaajireen also set up businesses. Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ would trade in clothes and Sayyiduna Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ began to sell dates in the market of ‘Qaynuqaa’.’ Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ also became busy in trading, and other Muhajireen also began both, small and large businesses. (Seerat-e-Mustafa, p. 188, summarised)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                            صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! You just heard how the teachings of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, based upon brotherhood, were so great, and how those Noble Sahabah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم left their homes and families without any provisions and arrived in Madinah upon the command of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Thus, the mercy of the Merciful Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم could not allow those who migrated for Allah Almighty and His Prophet
صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to remain without support and feel lonely.

Therefore, he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم established a relationship of brotherhood between them and the Ansaar; the Ansaar honoured and favoured them
