قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) الرَّجُلُ يَتَّجِرُ فَإِنْ هُوَ آجَرَ نَفْسَهُ أُعْطِيَ مَا يُصِيبُ فِي تِجَارَتِهِ فَقَالَ لَا يُؤَاجِرْ نَفْسَهُ وَ لَكِنْ يَسْتَرْزِقُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ يَتَّجِرُ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا آجَرَ نَفْسَهُ حَظَرَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ الرِّزْقَ .
Translation
Ahmad, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Amro, from Ammar Al Sabaty who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The man does business, so if he hires out himself, has to give whatever he acquires in his business?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He should not hire himself out, but Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic would Sustain him, and he should do business, for when he hires out himself, he bans the livelihood upon himself’.
