Years later, Prophet Muhammad ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ grew up. This noble youth became a merchant, following in the footsteps of his people.
In fact, the Prophet Muhammad ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ Al-Amin, the honest Muhammad, the true Muhammad. In everyday and commercial behavior, Prophet Muhammad ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ The truth is always upheld.
Al Mubarakfurry said, in trading, Allah's Prophet. Until Al-Amin's title was attached to him in his teens.
The Prophet's first job ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ led the trade caravan of Khadija ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ to the Habshah trading center in the Land of Sham.
According to the book Wisdom Acts of the Prophet and the Apostles by Ridwan Abdullah Sani and Muhammad Kadri (2021:275), at that time there was a rich merchant named Khadijah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ who wanted to send his merchandise to the land of Sham. He needed someone who could be trusted to oversee the trade troupe.
Later, Khadijah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ iphthermia heard that there was a young man who was famous for his honesty and compassion. Khadijah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ to become the leader of a trading entourage to the land of Sham.
Khadijah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ I have no experience of leading and organizing trade groups. This is because he felt confident that Muhammad was an honest person and understood the ins and outs of the world of commerce.
Together with Maysarah (a Khadija confidant), He ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ trade in the land of Sham. It has become a tradition for the people of Mecca to drive a group of trade in crowds to the city limits.
Prophet Muhammad ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ Allu was honest and did not cover the defects in his merchandise. If the conditions are good, then he will say good. And vice versa.
In addition, the Prophet Muhammad ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ also uses the prevailing price in the community in determining the selling price of its merchandise, not taking much unnatural profit. The procession of bargaining prices was not infrequently done by Muhammad with polite communication techniques to prospective buyers.
He ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 'Every big profit. All merchandise has been sold out. The return of Prophet Muhammad ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ to Mecca was enthusiastically welcomed by the inhabitants. This also makes Khadijah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ because of the reputation of his honesty. Moreover, he managed to sell all their merchandise.
The Khadijah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ trade caravan in the Land of Sham has made considerable profits, even beyond his expectations. The decision of Khadijah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ as the leader of the trade caravan became the right decision. He also continued to partner with the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ in doing business and appointed him as his right hand man.
In addition to telling the story of Prophet Muhammad ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ trade in order to make the merchandise halal and blessings. The following is a hadith about the customs of trade narrated by Imam Bukhari and Muslim:
الْبَيِّعَانِ بِالْخِيَارِ مَا لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقَا فَإِنْ صَدَقَا وَبَيَّنَا بُورِكَ لَهُمَا فِى بَيْعِهِمَا وَإِنْ كَذَبَا وَكَتَمَا مُحِقَتْ بَرَكَةُ بَيْعِهِمَا
Meaning: “People who transact buying and selling each have the right to khiyar (cancel or continue the transaction) as long as the two have not separated. If both are honest and open, then both will get blessing in buying and selling, but if both are lying and not open, then the blessing of buying and selling between the two will be lost” (HR. Bukhari no. 2079 and Muslim no. 1532)

According to Maysarah, along with this young man named Muhammad, he saw moral nobility, intelligence, and communication skills that he could not find from any merchant.
Besides, the face of the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ always made anyone look down on him.
As Author has written in the next chapter about the meeting of the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ A monk named Buhaira, it turned out that there was another priest who also knew the prophetic signs. In the book of Al-Barzanji, in addition to Buhaira also narrated Pastor Nasrani who has also known the prophetic signs on Muhammad. The priest was named Nastura.
The Reverend Nastura learned of the prophetic signs of Muhammad ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ when the Prophet was 25 years old, when he was traveling with Maysaroh.
When Muhammad ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 25 years old, he traveled to Bushra (Sham) to trade selling Khadija.
At that time, he was accompanied by one of Khadijah's male aides ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ Named Maysaroh to help the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ trade.
While on the way, the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ came under a shade tree near the church of a Christian priest named Nastura.
The monk of Nastura knew the prophetic signs of the man who stopped under a shady tree near his church.
It is known from the strangeness that occurs that the shadow of the shade tree is leaning towards the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ To protect it from the hot sun.
For this incident, Rahib Nastura believed that the person would later become a Prophet. As described in the book of Al Barzanji:
فَنَزَلَ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ لَّذَى صَوْمَعَةِ نَسْطُوْرَا رَاهِبِ النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ فَعَرَفَهُ الرَّهِبُ اِذْ مَالَ اِلَيْهِ ظِلُّهَا الْوَارِفُ وَاَوَاهُ
“Then the Prophet came down/lost under a tree in his church Nastura, a monk or priest of the Nasrani, So Monk Nastura found out when the shadow of the tree was leaning towards the Prophet and protecting him,"
Then the Reverend Nastura said, “Not come under this tree except a Prophet who has clean nature." Then Nastura asked Maesaroh to find clarity of prophetic signs, “is there a kind of red in Muhammad's eyes?”
Maesaroh replied, “Ya.”
Khadijah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ The truth. He ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ buyers, wherever they are.
In fact, in some accounts it is said that what the Prophet Muhammad sold.
