كَراهَةُ إجارَةِ النَّفْسِ Divine Disapproval Of Offering Oneself for Hiring

2- عمّارِ السّاباطيِ قلتُ لأبي عبدِاللّه‏ِ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): الرّجُلُ يَتّجِرُ ، فإنْ هُو آجَرَ نَفسَهُ اُعطِيَ ما يُصِيبُ في تجارتِهِ ، فقالَ لا يُؤاجِرْ نفسَهُ، ولكنْ يَسترزِقُ‏اللّه‏َ عزّ وجلّ ويَتَّجِرُ، فإنّهُ إذا آجَرَ نفسَهُ حَظَرَ على نفسِهِ الرِّزْقَ


2- Ammar al-Sabati narrated, ‘I asked AbÙ AbdillÁh (AS) about a man who trades but he can make the same money by working for someone else. He said, ‘He should not work for someone else. Rather, he must seek Allah’s bounty by trading, for by working for someone else, he restricts Allah’s bounty for him.’[al-Kafi, v. 5, p. 90, no. 3]
