S 2:282 Those who have believed, when you have mutually contracted for a debt to a fixed term, write it. And let a scribe write between you with equity. And let a scribe not refuse to write as Allah has taught him. So let him write and let the one upon whom is the right dictate and let him fear Allah his lord and let him not diminish anything from it. Then if the one one upon whom is the right was a fool or weak or not able to dictate, he, then let his protector dictate with equity. And call two witnesses of your men. And if there are not two men then a man and two women of whom you are pleased of the witnesses, that one of them two strays then one of them two will remind the other. And let the witnesses not refuse when what they have been called. And do not tire to write it, small or big, to its term. That is more equitable with Allah and more upright for the testimony and nearer that you do not doubt except that there be a present trade that you run among you then there is not a misdemeanour upon you not to write it. And call to witness when you have concluded a deal. And let a scribe not be harmed nor a witness. And if you do then it is dissoluteness in you, and fear Allah. And Allah teaches you. And Allah is learned in everything.
S 4:29 Those who have believed, do not consume your money between yourselves wrongly but that there be trade by mutual consent among you. And do not kill yourselves. Allah was merciful to you.
S 9:24 Say: If your fathers and your sons and your brothers and your husbands and your clan and monies you have committed and trade you fear a slump therein and dwellings you have taken pleasure in are more beloved to you than Allah and his messenger and jihad in his way, then lie in wait until Allah brings his command. And Allah does not guide the fasiq people.
S 24:37 Men--trade does not distract them nor selling from the remembrance of Allah and the establishing of salat and the giving of zakat. They fear a day wherein hearts and eyesight move restlessly.
S 35:29 Those who read Allah’s book and have performed salat and spent of what we have provided them with secretly and publicly hope for trade that will not perish
S 61:10 Those who have believed, shall I direct you to trade that saves you from painful torture?
S 62:11 And when they saw trade or fun they disappeared towards it and left you standing. Say: What is with Allah is better than fun and trade. And Allah is the best of providers.
Notice that in the last verse, Muhammad literally has no audience: "they disappeared towards it and left you standing". Who is Mo speaking to?
