إِنَّ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ جُعِلَ رِزْقُهُ فِي السَّيْفِ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ جُعِلَ رِزْقُهُ فِي التِّجَارَةِ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ جُعِلَ رِزْقُهُ فِي لِسَانِهِ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from a cousing of Al Waleed Bin Sabeeh, from his maternal uncle Al Waleed, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘From the people is one whose sustenance has been Made to be in the sword, and from them is the one whose sustenance is in the business, and from them is one whose sustenance is Made to be in his tongue’ (negotiator).
