The Companions' Rush Towards Merchandise

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) rushing towards a caravan of merchandise that came to Medina, leaving only twelve people with him.

Jabir b. Abdullah reported: While the Messenger of Allah was delivering (a sermon) on Friday, a caravan of merchandise came to Medina. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah rushed towards it till only twelve persons were left with him including Abu Bakr and 'Umar; and it was at this occasion that this verse was revealed". And when they see merchandise or sport, they break away to it".
وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، وَسَالِمِ، بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ بَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ قَائِمٌ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذْ قَدِمَتْ عِيرٌ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَابْتَدَرَهَا أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مَعَهُ إِلاَّ اثْنَا عَشَرَ رَجُلاً فِيهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ - قَالَ - وَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ‏{‏ وَإِذَا رَأَوْا تِجَارَةً أَوْ لَهْوًا انْفَضُّوا إِلَيْهَا‏}‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Companions of Prophet Muhammad's PBUH rush towards a caravan of merchandise that came to Medina, leaving only twelve people with him. This incident was so significant that it was mentioned in the Quran in verse 24:62 which reads "And when they see merchandise or sport, they break away to it". The companions were so eager and excited for this opportunity that they left their place and rushed towards it without thinking twice. It teaches us how important it is to be mindful and conscious when we are in a gathering or listening to someone speak as we should not leave our place without permission or due cause. We should also be aware of our surroundings and not get too distracted by worldly matters as these can take away from our spiritual growth and development.
