It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The truthful and trustworthy Muslim trader will be with the martyrs on the Day of Resurrection." This narrator is Kulthum bin Jawshan al-Basri, who has few hadith, and the two Shaykhs did not record it; and there is also a corroborating report for it in the Maraasil of al-Hasan.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The truthful and trustworthy trader will be (on the Day of Resurrection) with the prophets, the truthful ones (siddiqin) and the martyrs."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Rifa'ah bin Rafi' al-Zuraqi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to the prayer ground (musalla) in Madinah and saw the people buying and selling. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O company of traders!" They responded to him and raised their necks and their eyes toward the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the traders will be raised on the Day of Resurrection as sinners, except the one who feared Allah, did good and held to truthfulness." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Shibl (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, the traders are the wicked (sinners)." The people said: O Messenger of Allah, has Allah not made trade lawful? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes indeed, but they swear oaths (to sell their goods) and so fall into sin, and they speak and so tell lies." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it. Hisham bin Abi Abdillah has mentioned that Yahya bin Abi Kathir heard directly from Abu Rashid, and Hisham is trustworthy and reliable. Aban bin Yazid al-Attar, however, placed Zayd bin Sallam between the two of them.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Shibl (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The traders are the wicked, the traders are the wicked, the traders are the wicked." The people said: O Messenger of Allah, has Allah not made trade lawful? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes indeed, but they speak and tell lies, and they swear oaths and commit sin."
