Hadith of Urwah ibn Abi al-Ja'd al-Bariqi (RA), from the Prophet (SAW)
حديث عروة بن أبي الجعد البارقي (1) ، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
Hadith 773:9
Abu Kamil narrated to us, Sa'id ibn Zayd narrated to us, al-Zubayr ibn al-Khirrit narrated to us, Abu Labid narrated to us, from 'Urwah ibn Abi al-Ja'd al-Bariqi, who said: Some livestock (brought for sale) were presented to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He gave me a dinar and said: "O 'Urwah, go to the livestock, and buy a sheep for us." I went to the livestock and bargained with its owner, and I bought two sheep from him for a dinar. I came driving them—or he said: leading them—and a man met me and bargained with me, so I sold him one sheep for a dinar. I came with the dinar and brought him the sheep, and I said: "O Messenger of Allah, this is your dinar and this is your sheep." He said: "And how did you do?" He said: So I told him the story. He said: "O Allah, bless him in the transaction of his right hand." I have seen myself standing at the marketplace of Kufa, and I would make a profit of forty thousand before I reached my family. And he used to buy slave girls and sell them.
حدثنا أبو كامل، حدثنا سعيد بن زيد، حدثنا الزبير بن الخريت، حدثنا أبو لبيد، عن عروة بن أبي الجعد البارقي قال: عرض للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم جلب، فأعطاني دينارا وقال: " أي عروة، ائت الجلب، فاشتر لنا شاة "، فأتيت الجلب، فساومت صاحبه، فاشتريت منه شاتين بدينار، فجئت أسوقهما، أو قال: أقودهما، فلقيني رجل، فساومني، فأبيعه شاة بدينار، فجئت بالدينار، وجئته بالشاة، فقلت: يا رسول الله، هذا ديناركم، وهذه شاتكم. قال: " وصنعت كيف؟ " قال: فحدثته الحديث، فقال: " اللهم بارك له في صفقة يمينه " فلقد رأيتني أقف بكناسة الكوفة، فأربح أربعين ألفا قبل أن أصل إلى أهلي، وكان يشتري الجواري ويبيع،
