Hadith 15:
Prophet (P.B.U.H)uh was very honest and truthful, and dedicated while trading he
would not hide defects of trade articles. Prophet Muhammad conducted business in
Syria with such prudence and sense of duty that he returned from the trade
expedition with an amount of profit larger than usual. Hazrat Khadija married him
due to his honesty and trustworthiness.It is said about Hazrat Usman that he used
give more in measure and weights when selling commodities, and even paid more
than the asking price of the commodity he bought, saying that Allah not only fulfilled
his needs but gave him more than he needed.
Actions:
● Muslims can practise the teaching of this Hadith in their daily lives by doing small
acts of kindness every day. Helping a blind man cross the road, feeding a hungry
person, giving directions to a traveller, forgiving the mistake of a fellow being are all
examples of how mercy can be practised.
● All Muslims are part of one community and should profess brotherhood towards each
other and all humankind, which will be looked upon favorably by Allah.
● The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) showed mercy even to his enemies; when the
believers asked him to curse the people of Tai’f, he instead prayed for them that one
day they might accept Islam as their faith. Yet another example of his mercy is that at
the conquest of Makkah, he issued a general pardon to all those who had persecuted
and tortured him and the Muslims for ten years.
Main Teachings:
● Rahman and Raheem, the most merciful and the most beneficent are, amongst
others, two of the most quoted attributes of Allah. The first example of His mercy was
forgiving the sin of Hazrat Adam and his wife.
● The teaching of this hadith for Muslims is to develop the traits of kindness and mercy
in their personalities, to show compassion to all living things in this world, and to
forgive the mistakes of others and overlook their minor faults. The Prophet (P.B.U.H)
said, “He who is devoid of mercy is devoid of all good.”
● The rights of fellow Muslims have been stressed upon by both Allah and His Prophet
Muhammad (P.B.U.H). A Muslim’s treatment by Allah depends on how he treats
others.
● Allah will reward Muslims for Showing compassion and mercy to His creation. That
those who do not practice mercy simply deprive themselves of Allah’s mercy is the
clear teaching given by the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H).
