Who bought Bilal for the Ummah?
Who bought the highly required Jewish well for masjid an nabawi?
Who gave a caravan of goods to the Muslim army from the first camel to the last?
Who are in the 10 promised to heaven’s list?

Our beloved Rasulullah herd goats and sheeps when he was young,
And he went to bilad as Syam for trading, indeed he is the best trader.
