1826 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; he said: I was informed by Harb ibn Surayj, from Qatadah, from Muwarriq al-ʿIjli, that he used to engage in trade, earn money, and then distribute it among the poor and the needy. He would say, “Had it not been for them, I would never have gone into business.”
١٨٢٦ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: أُخْبِرْتُ عَنْ حَرْبِ بْنِ سُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مُوَرِّقٍ الْعِجْلِيِّ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَّجِرُ فَيُصِيبُ الْمَالَ فَيُفَرِّقَهُ عَلَى الْفُقَرَاءِ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ يَقُولُ: «لَوْلَاهُمْ مَا اتَّجَرْتُ»
