Narrated by Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said to Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him): O Ka'b bin Ujrah! The flesh that has been nourished by the unlawful will not enter Paradise; the Fire is more deserving of it.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The command of Allah, the Exalted, is: {اِنَّّالَّذِیْنَیَاْکُلُوْنَاَمْوَالَالْیَتَامیٰظُلْمًااِنَّمَایَاْکُلُوْنَفِیْبُطُوْنِھِمْنَارًا} “Those who consume the wealth of orphans unjustly are only filling their bellies with fire.” (An-Nisa: 10)
Illicit (haram) wealth is a major cause of Hellfire; due to it, no act of worship is accepted in the court of Allah.
