Sunan Abi Dawud 3509 (Book 24, Hadith 94) #23799
Profit Follows Responsibility

SUMMARY: Profit should only be taken when responsibility is taken.

I and some people were partners in a slave. I employed him on some work in the absence of one of the partners. He got earnings for me. He disputed me and the case of his claim to his share in the earnings to a judge, who ordered me to return the earnings (i.e. his share) to him. I then came to Urwah ibn az-Zubayr, and related the matter to him. Urwah then came to him and narrated to him a tradition from the Messenger of Allah on the authority of Aisha: Profit follows responsibility.
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ مَخْلَدِ بْنِ خُفَافٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ، قَالَ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ أُنَاسٍ شَرِكَةٌ فِي عَبْدٍ فَاقْتَوَيْتُهُ وَبَعْضُنَا غَائِبٌ فَأَغَلَّ عَلَىَّ غَلَّةً فَخَاصَمَنِي فِي نَصِيبِهِ إِلَى بَعْضِ الْقُضَاةِ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَرُدَّ الْغَلَّةَ فَأَتَيْتُ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ فَأَتَاهُ عُرْوَةُ فَحَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا - عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الْخَرَاجُ بِالضَّمَانِ

This hadith teaches us that we should not take any profit or earnings without taking responsibility for it first. It is narrated by Aisha, the wife of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who was a great example of how to live a life according to Islamic teachings and values. She taught us that if we want to gain something in life, then we must first take responsibility for it and work hard towards achieving our goals. This hadith also teaches us that justice should be done in all matters and no one should be deprived from their rightful share in any matter.
