Imam Nafi says: I used to travel to Syria or Egypt for trade. Once, I prepared to go to Iraq and went to Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: O Umm al-Mu’minin! This time I am preparing to go to Iraq. She said: What happened to your previous trade? I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that when something is a means of someone’s sustenance, he should not leave it until that thing itself changes. In any case, I went to Iraq and after returning, I went to Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: O Umm al-Mu’minin! By Allah! (Let alone profit) I could not even bring back my original capital. She narrated to him the same hadith again, or said: The hadith is the same as I have already told you.
