Hadith.3639 - It is narrated from Al-Arqat that Abu Abdillah (as) said: "Do not spend your time wandering through markets, nor personally handle the purchase of minor goods. It does not befit a Muslim who possesses faith and honor to involve himself directly in purchasing small items-except in three matters. It is proper for a man of faith and dignity to personally handle these three matters: buying real estate, camels, and slaves."
