Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbaas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “O group of tradesmen!

Sunnats and Aadaab of Business and Dealings – Part Nine
Written by user214. One should recite the following duas when entering the marketplace:
Dua One:
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِيْ وَيُمِيْتُ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوْتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرْ
There is no deity besides Allah alone, who has no partner. To Him belongs the kingdom (of the entire universe), and for Him is all praise. He gives life and gives death, and He is eternal and will not die. In His hands (control) alone lies all good and He has complete power over everything.
Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The one who enters the marketplace and recites this (abovementioned) dua, Allah will record for him one million good deeds, forgive one million sins and raise his status by one million ranks (and in one narration, it is also mentioned that Allah Ta‘ala builds a palace for him in Jannah).” [1]
Sunnats and Aadaab of Business and Dealings – Part Eight
Written by user213. It is not permissible for one to get involved in interest bearing transactions. Giving and taking interest are both haraam in Islam.
وَأَحَلَّ اللهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبٰوا
And Allah has permitted trade and prohibited riba – interest. [1]
الَّذِيْنَ يَأْكُلُوْنَ الرِّبٰوا لَا يَقُومُوْنَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُوْمُ الَّذِيْ يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطٰنُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ
Those who consume interest will rise (on the Day of Qiyaamah) like the one who has been afflicted by the evil touch of Shaitaan. [2]
فَإِنْ لَّمْ تَفْعَلُوْا فَأْذَنُوْا بِحَرْبٍ مِّنَ اللهِ وَرَسُوْلِهِ
“If you do not do so (desist from dealing in interest) then be prepared to wage war against Allah and His Rasul (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).” [3]

1. When in Makkah Mukarramah, then at all times, keep in mind the sanctity of the place. Remember that all the Ambiyaa (‘alaihimus salaam), Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum), Taabi’een and Auliyaa (rahimahumullah) frequented this mubaarak place.
2. Do not cause inconvenience to people in the Haram, and ensure that you protect your heart and eyes from haraam and sin. Whatever spirituality you attain could be lost through committing sins and casting sinful gazes.

Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) Replying to the Salaam
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Whenever anyone makes salaam to me (at my grave), Allah Ta‘ala returns my soul to my body so that I reply to his greetings.” [1]
In Sharh-e-Manaasik, Haafiz Ibnu Hajar (rahimahullah) writes that the meaning of the return of the soul is that Allah Ta‘ala grants Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) the ability to speak. Hazrat Qaadhi Iyaaz (rahimahullah) writes that the soul of Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) remains absorbed in the presence of Allah Ta‘ala, and on being greeted with salaam, inclines towards the greeting. [2]
