Hadith.3639 - It is narrated from Al-Arqat that Abu Abdillah (as) said
"Do not spend your time wandering through markets, nor personally handle the purchase of minor goods. It does not befit a Muslim who possesses faith and honor to involve himself directly in purchasing small items-except in three matters.
It is proper for a man of faith and dignity to personally handle these three matters: buying real estate, camels, and slaves."
3639 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلْأَرْقَطِ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ :
"لاَ تَكُونَنَّ دَوَّاراً فِي اَلْأَسْوَاقِ وَ لاَ تَلِي شِرَاءَ دَقَائِقِ اَلْأَشْيَاءِ بِنَفْسِكَ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِلْمَرْءِ اَلْمُسْلِمِ ذِي اَلدِّينِ وَ اَلْحَسَبِ أَنْ يَلِيَ شِرَاءَ دَقَائِقِ اَلْأَشْيَاءِ بِنَفْسِهِ مَا خَلاَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَشْيَاءَ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي لِذِي اَلدِّينِ وَ اَلْحَسَبِ أَنْ يَلِيَهَا بِنَفْسِهِ اَلْعَقَارَ وَ اَلْإِبِلَ وَ اَلرَّقِيقَ".
