Hadeeth 10
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may
Allah be pleased with him) who said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Allah the Almighty is Good and accepts
only that which is good. And verily Allah has commanded the believers to do
that which He has commanded the Messengers. So the Almighty has said: “O (you)
Messengers! Eat of the tayyibat [all kinds of halal (legal) foods], and perform
righteous deeds.” [23:51] and the Almighty has said: “O you who believe! Eat of
the lawful things that We have provided you.” [2:172]” Then he (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) mentioned [the case] of a man who, having
journeyed far, is dishevelled and dusty, and who spreads out his hands to the
sky saying “O Lord! O Lord!,” while his food is haram (unlawful), his drink is
haram, his clothing is haram, and he has been nourished with haram, so how can
[his supplication] be answered?
