Alhumdullilah!
Since days, I was thinking to share a topic which could really help us, strengthen our Iman.
Alhumdullila...
Abu Hanifah, the famous scholar (may Allah have mercy on him) and a man from Basrah were partners in a business.
On one occasion, Abu Hanifah (may Allah have mercy on him) sent 70 expensive garments to him, sending with them a note informing the man,
"One of them is defective, and it is such and such garment, so when you sell it make sure that you point out the defect."
The man sold it for 30,000 dirhams, and when he came with the money to Abu Hanifah (may Allah have mercy on him), he asked,
"Did you point out the defect?", the man replied,
"I forgot."
Abu Hanifah (may Allah have mercy on him) took nothing from the profit, but instead gave it all in charity.
Moral
From this story we learn about the righteous character of Imam Abu Hanifah, and how the Muslims in the past were extremely careful regarding how they earned their money.
A small halaal income is far better than a large corrupt one. Prophet (pbuh) is reported to have said,
"When a sale is held, there’s no cheating” (Al-Bukhari).

-Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)said:
A person bought from another person a piece of land, and the person who had, bought that land found in it a pot which contained gold.
The person who had bought the land said [to the seller of the land]:
"Take your gold from me, for I bought only the land from you and not the gold!"
The man who had sold the land said:
"I have sold the land to you and whatever was in it."
They then referred the matter to a person. One who was made as a judge, and he asked them,
"Do u both have children?"
One said "I have a boy," and the other said: "I have a young daughter."
He(the arbitrator) said:
"Marry this young boy to the girl, and spend on them from [this gold] and also give (some) charity out of it."
Moral
From this story we learn that Islam teaches justice for all people and this is exemplified in the actions of the two men who wanted to be just to each other concerning the pot of gold, they didn't want the others right to be taken away.
Another point of benefit from the story is that when a situation like the one mentioned in the story occurs, it is wise and best to appoint a person of knowledge and wisdom as a judge.

Abu Said related that the Prophet (pbuh) said:
- The truthful and trustworthy businessman will be in the company of Prophets, saints and martyrs on the Day of Judgment. (Darimi, Tirmidhi).
- Jabir related that the Prophet (pbuh) said:
May Allah show mercy to a man who is kind when he sells, when he buys, and when he makes a claim. (Bukhari)
