<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It points out the Prophet’s asceticism and his lack of interest in worldly possessions and vanities. If he had wished, the world would have come to him submissively, and he would have gotten mountains of gold; but, instead, he was the servant of Allah and His messenger.<br>
2) It is permissible to deal with disbelievers in buying and selling and similar financial transactions.<br>
