Hazrat Riyah bin Ubaidah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that a man was sent with some merchandise for trade. While he was on the way, he saw something being sold, then he remembered that he was responsible for the merchandise. He bought that item with the merchandise, and when he reached Madinah, he sold the purchased item and consumed the profit. Then he inquired about this matter from Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them). He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The profit belongs to the owner of the wealth."
