Mishkat al-Masabih #2811
Business Transactions
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَن عُرْوَة بن أبي الْجَعْد الْبَارِقي: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطَاهُ دِينَارًا لِيَشْتَرِيَ بِهِ شَاةً فَاشْتَرَى لَهُ شَاتين فَبَاعَ إِحْدَاهمَا بِدِينَار وَأَتَاهُ بِشَاة ودينار فَدَعَا لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْعِهِ بِالْبَرَكَةِ فَكَانَ لَوِ اشْتَرَى تُرَابا لربح فِيهِ. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
‘Urwa b. Abul Ja‘d al-Bariqi said that God’s Messenger gave him a dinar to buy a sheep for him. He bought two sheep for him, sold one of them for a dinar and brought him a sheep and dinar. So God’s Messenger invoked a blessing on him in his business dealings, and he was such that if he had bought dust he would have made a profit from it.
Bukhari transmitted it.
