Trade was liked by the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, because it was a means of livelihood based on morality and honesty. He صلى الله عليه وسلم himself was famous in trade and Hazrat Uthman Ghani and Hazrat Abd al-Rahman bin Awf among the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were known as useful traders. Hazrat Abd al-Rahman bin Awf remained engaged in trade even after his migration to Medina and achieved great commercial success with his God-given abilities. Hazrat Uthman‟s trading business was so large that his income made him a model of great generosity and he spent his wealth for society.
