قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) لَا تَكُونَنَّ دَوَّاراً فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ وَ لَا تَلِي دَقَائِقَ الْأَشْيَاءِ بِنَفْسِكَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ ذِي الْحَسَبِ وَ الدِّينِ أَنْ يَلِيَ شِرَاءَ دَقَائِقِ الْأَشْيَاءِ بِنَفْسِهِ مَا خَلَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْيَاءَ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي لِذِي الدِّينِ وَ الْحَسَبِ أَنْ يَلِيَهَا بِنَفْسِهِ الْعَقَارَ وَ الرَّقِيقَ وَ الْإِبِلَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, from Amro Bin Ibrahim, from Khalaf Bin Hammad, from Haroun Bin Al Jaham, from Al Arqat who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Do not become roamers in the markets, nor pursue the minute things by yourself, for it is no befitting for the Muslim man with esteem and the Religion that he buys the minute things by himself, except for three things which are befitting for the one with Religion and he esteem that he should puruse by himself – the real estate, and the slaves, and the camels’.
