1.10 Permissible Matters Cause Supplications to be Accepted While Prohibited Matters Prevent Them

١۔١٠ الحلال سبب لإجابة الدعاء , وأكل الحرام يمنعها

from Abu Hurayrah: “Indeed, Allah Most High is good and accepts only what is good …” Narrated by Muslim.

Muslim recorded this hadith through the narration of Fudayl ibn Marzuq, from ʿAdi ibn Thabit, from Abu Hazim, from Abu Hurayrah. Al-Tirmidhi also recorded it and said: “Hasan gharib.” Fudayl ibn Marzuq is a trustworthy, middling narrator; Muslim narrated from him, but not Bukhari.

عَنْ أبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: «إنَّ اللَّهَ تَعالى طَيِّبٌ لا يَقْبَلُ إلّا طَيِّبًا...» رَواهُ مُسْلِمٌ.

هذا الحديث خرَّجه مسلم من رواية فضيل بن مرزوق، عن عديِّ بن ثابت، عن أبي حازم، عن أبي هريرة، وخرّجه الترمذي، وقال: حسن غريب. وفضيل بن مرزوق ثقة وسط خرَّج له مسلم دون البخاري.

Dua is not accepted by those who consume haram (prohibited)

(10) muslim:1015Abū Kurayb Muḥammad b. al-ʿAlāʾ > Abū Usāmah > Fuḍayl b. Marzūq > ʿAdī b. Thābit > Abū Ḥāzim > Abū Hurayrah

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "O people, Allah is Good and He therefore, accepts only that which is good. And Allah commanded the believers as He commanded the Messengers by saying: "O Messengers, eat of the good things, and do good deeds; verily I am aware of what you do" (xxīi. 51). And He said: "O those who believe, eat of the good things that We gave you."

He then made a mention of a person who travels widely, his hair disheveled and covered with dust. He lifts his hand towards the sky: O Lord, O Lord, "whereas his diet is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, and his clothes are unlawful and his nourishment is unlawful. How can then his supplication be accepted?"

(١٠) مسلم:١٠١٥وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَدِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ طَيِّبٌ، لاَ يَقْبَلُ إِلاَّ طَيِّبًا۔ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَمَرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِمَا أَمَرَ بِهِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ» فَقَالَ «{ يَا أَيُّهَا الرُّسُلُ كُلُوا مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَاعْمَلُوا صَالِحًا إِنِّي بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ }» وَقَالَ «{ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُلُوا مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ }»

ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الرَّجُلَ يُطِيلُ السَّفَرَ أَشْعَثَ أَغْبَرَ يَمُدُّ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ «وَمَطْعَمُهُ حَرَامٌ، وَمَشْرَبُهُ حَرَامٌ، وَمَلْبَسُهُ حَرَامٌ، وَغُذِيَ بِالْحَرَامِ، فَأَنَّى يُسْتَجَابُ لِذَلِكَ؟»
