Hadith 465
Hadith.3582 - Ibrahim ibn Abdul-Hamid narrated from Abu al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as), who said
A man came to the Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, and said: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), I have taught my son to read and write. In what profession should I place him?" The Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, replied:"Entrust him to Allah (swt) and do not place him in five professions: Do not make him a seller of shrouds, nor a jeweler, nor a butcher, nor a grain merchant, nor a slave trader." The man asked: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), what is the harm in selling shrouds?" The Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, explained: "The one who sells shrouds wishes for the death of my nation, while the birth of a new soul in my nation is more beloved to me than all that the sun has risen upon. As for the jeweler, he engages in defrauding my nation. As for the butcher, he slaughters so frequently that mercy departs from his heart. As for the grain merchant, he hoards food against my nation, and it is more beloved to me that a servant meets Allah (swt) as a thief than that he meets Him having hoarded food for forty days. As for the slave trader, Archangel Jibril (as) came to me and said: 'O Muhammad, the worst of your nation are those who sell human beings.'"

Hadith 466
Hadith.3583 - Sadir al-Sayrafi narrated
I said to Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as): "A report has reached me about Hasan al-Basri, and if it is true, then 'Indeed, we belong to Allah (swt) and to Him we shall return.'" Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) asked: "What is it?" I said: "I have heard that Hasan used to say, 'If my head boiled from the heat of the sun, I would not seek shade under the wall of a moneychanger, and if my liver dried up from thirst, I would not drink water earned through trade. Yet, this (trade) is my occupation, my business, and by it my flesh and blood have grown, and from it, I performed my Hajj and Umrah.'" Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) then sat up and said: "Hasan has lied! Take what is fair and give what is fair, and when the time for prayer arrives, leave what is in your hands and rise for prayer. Do you not know that the companions of the cave (Ashab al-Kahf) were moneychangers?"

When the procedure was completed, the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, asked him: 'Where is the blood?'

Hadith.3661 - Al-Hasan bin Mahbub narrated from Ali bin al-Hasan bin Ribaat, from Abu Sarah, from Hind al-Sarraj, who said
I said to Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as): 'May Allah (swt) set you aright. I used to carry weapons to the people of Sham and sell them. But when Allah (swt) made me aware of this matter, I became distressed about that weaponry. I said, I will not carry it to the enemies of Allah (swt).' Imam (as) said: 'Carry it to them and sell it, for Allah (swt), the Exalted, uses them to repel our enemies and your enemies, meaning the Romans.' Imam (as) continued, 'But if there is a war between us and them, whoever carries weapons to our enemy that they use against us is a polytheist.'

He said: "I then asked him about the saying of the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family), 'You and your wealth belong to your father.'" Imam (as) replied: "Indeed, the father brought his case to the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah (swt), this is my son, and he has wronged me concerning my inheritance from his mother.' The father then informed him that he had spent it on him and on himself. So, the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: 'You and your wealth belong to your father.' The man had nothing left with him, so would the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) imprison a father for the sake of his son?'"
