In his early life, the Holy Prophet worked as a shepherd and look care of the family's and neighbour's herds. When he grew up, he started to trade. Unlike other businessmen of the time, he was extremely honest and fair in his dealings. Hazrat Sa'ad, his businessmen partner said: "I was a partner of Muhammad (P.B.U.H) in business. I always found him very honest in his dealings; he never picked quarrels, nor made any false statement" (Allama Shibi Naumani: Sirat-un-Nabi).
His honesty and truthfulness impressed the people to such an extent that they gave him the titles of Al-Sadiq - The Truthful and Al-Amin - The Truthworthy, They would also entrust their valuables to him for safekeeping. Even after the declaration of Prophethood, they had so much faith in his honesty and truthworthiness that they continued to leave their valuables with him for safe custody.
