A shop without goods on Allah's support

Feb 28, '13 10:09 AM for everyone

This is the reason that when the toilers stir out of their homes in search of work, they say,  " O Sustainer! We strive for earning the day's square meals. You must give abundance!" These words reflect the spirit ofTauheed.  It is said that in Medina a person came to Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) and complained of penury. The Imam said that when he reached home in Koofa, he should take a shop on rent and sit there. The man said, " I have no money to invest on goods!" The Imam replied, " Do whatever you are asked to do!" The man complied, rented a shop and started sitting there every day. After a few days a person came to him with some goods and asked him to sell them on the basis of a pre determined commission. The owner of the goods said that he was leaving the goods in the shop on consignment basis of sell-and-pay! Another person came with some more goods and there was a flow of suppliers of goods to the shop. Buyers too started flocking the shop. The affairs of the person took a turn towards prosperity.
