"May Allah have mercy on a man who is lenient when selling, buying, and collecting debts."
Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated:

Muslim's version from Uqbah ibn Amir and Abu Mas'ud adds: Allah said: "I am more worthy of such mercy - forgive My servant."
Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

"Three types of people Allah will not address on Judgment Day nor look at nor purify - for them is painful punishment." Abu Dharr asked who they were.

قوله
(۱) قوله: المسيل : قال الشافعية من أسبل بدون التبختر، ليس له وعيد، وأما الأحناف فيذكر المسألة بلا قيد، فإذن لا يتبدل الحكم وإن اختاره للمصلحة. كذا في العرف الشذي».

Qays ibn Abi Gharzah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
"We were called 'brokers' (samasira) during the Prophet's time. Once he passed by us and gave us a better name, saying:
'O merchants! False speech and oaths often accompany trade, so mix it with charity.'"

Note 1
Brokers
(1) "Brokers" - This confirms the permissibility of brokerage. Hanafis allow brokers to take fees from buyers, sellers, or both based on custom. Commerce is generally superior to farming. [Al-'Urf ash-Shadhi]
(2) "Mix it with charity" - Some literalists wrongly cite this against commercial zakat. In reality, this refers to voluntary charity to atone for trade-related sins, not replacing obligatory zakat established by consensus. [Badhl al-Majhud]

قوله
(۱) قوله: السماسرة دل الحديث على جواز الدلالة والسمسرة، وفي كتبنا: أن الدلال يجوز له أن يأخذ الأجرة من المشتري أو البائع أو من كليهما، إن كان العرف كذلك، واختلف في المفاضلة بين التجارة والزراعة، ومختارنا أن التجارة أفضل. كذا في العرف الشذي».

قوله
(۲)قوله: فشوبوه بالصدقة قال الخطابي: وقد احتج بهذا الحديث بعض أهل الظاهر ممن لا يرى الزكاة من أموال التجارة، وزعم أنه لو كان يجب فيها صدقة كما يجب في سائر الأموال الظاهرة لأمرهم النبي ة بها، ولم يقتصر على قوله: «فشوبوه بالصدقة». قال الشيخ : وليس فيما ذكروه دليل على ما ادعوه؛ لأنه إنما أمرهم في هذا الحديث بشيء من الصدقة غير معلوم المقدار في تضاعيف الأيام من الأوقات؛ لتكون كفارة عن اللغو والحلف، وأما الصدقة المقدرة التي هي ربع العشر الواجبة عند تمام الحول فقد وقع البيان فيها من غير هذه الجهة، ثم هو عمل الأمة وإجماع أهل العلم، فلا يعد قول هؤلاء معهم خلافًا. كذا في بذل المجهود».
Ubayd ibn Rifa'ah narrated from his father (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"On Judgment Day, merchants will be resurrected as sinners except those who feared Allah, acted righteously, and spoke truthfully." [Narrated by Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and Darimi]
Bayhaqi narrated a similar version from Al-Bara'. Tirmidhi graded it hasan sahih.
