Tradition n. 347

قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:

أَيُّمـا رَجُلٍ اش تَرى طَعاماً فَكَبَسَـهُ اَربَعينَ صَباحـاً يُرِيـدُ بِـه غِلاءَ المُسلِمينَ ثُمَّ باعَـهُ فَتَصَـدَّقَ بِثَمَنِـهِ لَم يَكُن كَفّارةً لِمـا صَنَعَ.

The Holy Prophet (S) said: “He who purchases the food stuff which is a public necessity and stores it for forty days with the hope that its price will go up in the Muslim market, then, sells it and gives the entire sum as charity to the poor, it cannot be the atonement for what he has done.”

قالَ الإمامُ اَميرُالمُؤمِنينَ عَلِيٌّ عليه السلام :

مَنِ اتَّجَرَ بِغَيرِ فِقهٍ فَقَدِ ارتَطَمَ فِي الرِّبا.

Tradition n. 349

عَن اَمِيرِالمُؤمِنينَ عَلِىٍّ عليه السلام قالَ: قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:

مَن باعَ وَاشتَرى فَل يَجتَنِب خَم سَ خِصالٍ وَ اِلاّ فَلا يَبِيعَـنَّ وَ لا يَشتَرِيَنَّ: الرِّبا، وَالحَل فُ، وَ كِت مـانُ العَي ـبِ، وَالمَـد حُ إذا باعَ، وَالذَّمُّ اِذَا اش تَرى.

Imam Amir al-Mu’minin ‘Ali (‘a) narrates from the Messenger of Allah who said: “He who is in business and buys and sells things must avoid five traits, otherwise he should not buy or sell anything: usury, taking oath, concealing the faults or defects of the goods, praising it wrongly when selling it, and finding faults in it when buying it.”

Tradition n. 350

قالَ الإمامُ الباقِرُ عليه السلام :

مَن طَلَبَ الرِّز قَ فِي الدّنيا اِستِعفافًا عَنِ النّاسِ وَ تَو سِيعًا عَلى اَهلِهِ وَ تَعَطُّفًا عَلى جارِهِ لَقَى اللّهَ عَزَّوَجَـلَّ يَـومَ القِيامَة وَ وَجهُهُ مِثلُ القَمَرِ لَيلَةَ البَدرِ.

Imam al-Baqir, the fifth Imam (‘a) said: “He who seeks for sustenance in this world in order to be independent of people for his needs, to provide for his family members, and to stretch affection unto his neighbours, will meet Allah, Almighty and Glorious, on the Day of Judgement while his face will be as bright as the full moon.”
