What is said about markets

باب مَا ذُكِرَ فِي الأَسْوَاقِ

And narrated ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Auf: On our arrival in Al-Madina, I asked whether there was a market of trading. Somebody said, “There is the market of Qainuqa‘.” Narrated Anas: ‘Abdur-Rahman said, “Show me the market.” And ‘Umar said, “Trading in the market diverted my attention (from better things).”
وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ لَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ قُلْتُ هَلْ مِنْ سُوقٍ فِيهِ تِجَارَةٌ قَالَ سُوقُ قَيْنُقَاعَ. وَقَالَ أَنَسٌ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ دُلُّونِي عَلَى السُّوقِ. وَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَلْهَانِي الصَّفْقُ بِالأَسْوَاقِ.

حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ دَعَا رَجُلٌ بِالْبَقِيعِ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ‏.‏ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ لَمْ أَعْنِكَ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ ‏‏.‏
"‏ سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي، وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي ‏"
Anas:

A man at Al-Baqi' called, "O Abul-Qasim!" The Prophet (ﷺ) turned to him and the man said (to the Prophet ), "I did not intend to call you." The prophet said, "Name yourselves by my name but not by my Kunya (name).
