سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ فَقَالَ مَا حَبَسَهُ عَنِ الْحَجِّ فَقِيلَ تَرَكَ التِّجَارَةَ وَ قَلَّ شَيْئُهُ قَالَ وَ كَانَ مُتَّكِئاً فَاسْتَوَى جَالِساً ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ لَا تَدَعُوا التِّجَارَةَ فَتَهُونُوا اتَّجِرُوا بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Shareef Bin Sabiq, from Al Fuzayl Bin Abu Qurra who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> was asked about a man and I was present, so he<sup>asws</sup> said:’ And what has withheld him from the Hajj’. So it was said, ‘Neglect of the business and scarcity of his assets’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And he<sup>asws</sup> was leaning, so he<sup>asws</sup> sat upright then said to them: ‘Do not leave the business for you would be belittled. Do business, may Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Bless you all’.
