وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي قَدْ تَرَكْتُ اَلتِّجَارَةَ فَقَالَ "لاَ تَفْعَلْ اِفْتَحْ بَابَكَ وَ اُبْسُطْ بِسَاطَكَ وَ اِسْتَرْزِقِ اَللَّهَ رَبَّكَ".
Al-Fudhayl ibn Yasaar asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "I have abandoned trade." Imam عليه السلام replied: "Do not do that. Open your door, spread your mat, and seek sustenance from your Lord عز وجل, Allah سبحانه وتعالى."
