Chapter on Trade, Its Etiquettes, Virtues, and Jurisprudence
وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "اِتَّجِرُوا بَارَكَ اَللَّهُ لَكُمْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَقُولُ "إِنَّ اَلرِّزْقَ عَشَرَةُ أَجْزَاءٍ تِسْعَةٌ فِي اَلتِّجَارَةِ وَ وَاحِدٌ فِي غَيْرِهَا" ".
The Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام said: "Engage in trade - may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless you - for I heard the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) say, 'Provision is divided into ten parts, nine of which are in trade, and one in other means.'"
