Question:
This person is asking about the hadith the other, Honorable Shaykh, and what is its meaning?
Answer:
The hadith is valid, and its meaning is that Allah is with the two partners in a special way, blessing them and guiding them. If one of them betrays the other, then Allah abandons him, and he is afflicted with punishment and the loss of wealth. So Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is with the two partners because each partner is a trustee for the other. It is not permissible for any of the partners to betray his partners. If the partners are upholding the trust between them, then Allah is with them, blessing them and guiding them in their dealings, in a special way. And if one of them betrays, then Allah abandons them. Yes.
