Assalamu Alaikum everyone, inshallah, you and your families are all doing well. things have been going well for me. as some of you may know, i started working for a lawfirm in baltimore last fall. work has been very busy, and very challenging. my focus is in corporate law, specifically venture capital. because i deal with various types of business tranasactions everyday, i thought i'd share the following Hadith:
Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, said: A man mentioned to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) that he is often deceived in business transactions, whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: When you enter into a transaction, say: There should be no attempt to deceive. So whenever he entered into a transaction, he used to say: There should be no attempt to deceive.
No matter what field you practice, i think this Hadith brings up an important point - the value of truthfulness. as a lawyer, i have seen the consequences of not telling the truth. Often, the deception may not even be purposeful, and that is why it is important to ask for Allah's (swt) help.
