Sahih al-Bukhari 3642, 3643 (Book 61, Hadith 146) #3478
The Blessing of the Prophet (ﷺ)

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) gave 'Urwa money to buy a sheep for him, and 'Urwa bought two instead. The Prophet (ﷺ) then blessed him in his deals, so that he would gain from any deal even if he bought dust.

Narrated 'Urwa: That the Prophet gave him one Dinar so as to buy a sheep for him'.Urwa bought two sheep for him with the money. Then he sold one of the sheep for one Dinar, and brought one Dinar and a sheep to the Prophet. On that, the Prophet invoked Allah to bless him in his deals. So 'Urwa used to gain (from any deal) even if he bought dust. (In another narration) 'Urwa said, "I heard Allah's Messenger saying, "There is always goodness in horses till the Day of Resurrection". (The subnarrator added, "I saw 70 horses in 'Urwa's house'.) (Sufyan said, "The Prophet asked 'Urwa to buy a sheep for him as a sacrifice")
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبِيبُ بْنُ غَرْقَدَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَىَّ، يُحَدِّثُونَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ أَعْطَاهُ دِينَارًا يَشْتَرِي بِهِ شَاةً، فَاشْتَرَى لَهُ بِهِ شَاتَيْنِ، فَبَاعَ إِحْدَاهُمَا بِدِينَارٍ وَجَاءَهُ بِدِينَارٍ وَشَاةٍ، فَدَعَا لَهُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ فِي بَيْعِهِ، وَكَانَ لَوِ اشْتَرَى التُّرَابَ لَرَبِحَ فِيهِ‏.‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ كَانَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ جَاءَنَا بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْهُ، قَالَ سَمِعَهُ شَبِيبٌ مِنْ عُرْوَةَ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ شَبِيبٌ إِنِّي لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَىَّ يُخْبِرُونَهُ عَنْهُ‏.‏ وَلَكِنْ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ الْخَيْرُ مَعْقُودٌ بِنَوَاصِي الْخَيْلِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ فِي دَارِهِ سَبْعِينَ فَرَسًا‏.‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ يَشْتَرِي لَهُ شَاةً كَأَنَّهَا أُضْحِيَّةٌ‏.‏

Be honest and sincere in your dealings with others

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the blessing of the Prophet ﷺ on 'Urwa's deals. When the Prophet ﷺ gave 'Urwa money to buy a sheep for him, he ended up buying two instead and sold one for one Dinar. On this, the Prophet ﷺ invoked Allah to bless him in his deals so that he would gain from any deal even if it was as small as buying dust. This hadith teaches us that when we are honest and sincere in our dealings with others, Allah will bless us with success and prosperity no matter how small our efforts may be. It also shows us how much mercy and kindness the Prophet ﷺ showed towards those around him; not only did he give charity but also prayed for their success in their endeavours.
