[ It is in the nature of man to seek profits in trade ]
(Check the original text in Arabic ...)
In the nature of man is the desire for profits in trade and the growth of money
This is why the news came that God nurtures alms
so that the servant may give money out of his natural desire for it for the sake of compensation, increase, and blessing because it is zakat. It is also the case with collecting money and the soul's scarcity due to its natural desire for it, so God was kind to him as He did not deviate him from what God created him to do. He sees the merchant traveling to distant, dangerous places that destroy souls and money, and he spends money and gives it the hope of profits, increase, and growth of money, and he is pleased with that, so God asked him to borrow everything, as It has been learned from him that he lends for two-thirds and for half, and his joy at the one who lends him the whole is more complete and greater .
