Some Precautions in Trading
اِنَّ التُّجَّارَ يُحْشَرُوْنَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فُجَّارًا اِلَّا مَنِ اتَّقَى وَبَرَّ وَصَدَقَ
"Indeed, all traders will be resurrected on the Day of Judgement as transgressors except for those who were pious, righteous, and truthful."[1]
The renowned Quranic commentator, Mufti Aḥmad Yār Khān NaꜤīmī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه explains this Hadith as follows:

Goodness means safeguarding one's business from deception and dishonesty, and truthfulness means speaking honestly about one's trade and not attempting to conceal defects if they exist. This means that on the Day of Judgement, all traders will be transgressors except those who possess these three qualities: piety, goodness, and truthfulness.[2]

"May Allah have mercy on a man who is gentle when he sells, gentle when he buys, and gentle when he demands."[3]
Gentleness in selling means not trying to give the customer an inferior product, and gentleness in buying means paying the price promptly and fairly, not causing trouble for the seller. Gentleness in demanding means
