Is there a noble Hadith that states that provision is in trade and agriculture?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no authentic stating that nine-tenths of rizq (sustenance) is in trade and agriculture. Rather, there is a weak hadith about trade only, which says: "Nine-tenths of rizq is in trade, and the remaining part is in as-sabiyah." Al-Albani graded it as weak. However, there are authentic hadiths that encourage trade and agriculture, among them: "The best of earnings is a man's work with his own hands, and every righteous transaction," and "Whoever owns land, let him cultivate it. If he is unable to cultivate it and is incapable of doing so, let him grant it to his Muslim brother and not rent it to him."
