Answer:
Yes, this is reported in the hadith that and that the trader, and that traders are the sinners on the Day of Resurrection, except for the one who fears Allah, does good, and is truthful. This is also another hadith. This confirms for traders that they must adhere to truthfulness and trustworthiness in their transactions, seek out what is lawful, and abandon what is forbidden. Trade may tempt a person and lead him to fall into lying and earning through haram (forbidden) means, driven by the love of money. Trade is enticing. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says: [At-Taghabun 64:15], [Al-Anfal 8:28]. So wealth is a trial, because Allah tests a person with it in his earning and his spending. Therefore, the Muslim must trade with what is lawful, seek lawful earnings, and avoid what is forbidden, in order to attain this great rank, being with the prophets and the truthful ones on the Day of Resurrection. May Allah reward you.
