Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ya’qub ibn Yazid from al-Washsha’ from ‘Asem ibn Hamid who has said the following: “Once, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), asked me, ‘How do you make a living?’ I replied, ‘I sell foodstuff.’ He (the Imam) said to me, ‘Buy those of good quality and sell of the good quality; if you sell that of good quality it is said, “Allah places blessings in you and the one who sold to you.’”” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (19/222))
