A great scholar Al Haj Mu'iin Ashirazi relates that
a friend of his Seyyid Darshooji who was a businessman
said to him that his business was in a bad state and
that his capital had been depleted and he was in debt.
As he was in this dire state, a Jewish girl once came
to him and informed him that she was getting married
and that she was an orphan. She asked him to take
pity on her and to sell her some home accessories
at a cheap price.
Although the businessman was in a bad economic state,
he decided to sell the girl the goods at a cheap price.
Whereby the goods cost a hundred and fifty tumans,
he gave her a discount of thirty tumans and sold her
the goods at a loss.
Soon after that, he was offered some household commodities
which were rare to be seen in the market at a very
low price and with an additional advantage that they
were offered to him on credit. Although he was hesitant
to take on the deal, he did so and ended up making
a huge profit, since people were in need of the items
due to their scarcity in the market. In this way he
recovered his capital and his economic condition improved.
