What is said about markets

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.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).”

Sahih Bukhari : 2120

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي السُّوقِ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ‏.‏ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا دَعَوْتُ هَذَا‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ سَمُّوا بِاسْمِي، وَلاَ تَكَنَّوْا بِكُنْيَتِي ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated Anas bin Malik: While the Prophet (ﷺ) was in the market, somebody, called, "O Abul-Qasim." The Prophet (ﷺ) turned to him. The man said, "I have called to this (i.e. another man)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Name yourselves by my name but not by my Kunya (name)." (In Arabic world it is the custom to call the man as the father of his eldest son, e.g. Abul-Qasim.) (See Hadith No. 737, Vol. 4)
