Hadith 5720
عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَأَنْ يَحْمِلَ الرَّجُلُ حَبْلًا فَيَحْتَطِبَ بِهِ ثُمَّ يَجِيءَ فَيَضَعَهُ فِي السُّوقِ فَيَبِيعَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْنِيَ بِهِ فَيُنْفِقَهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ أَعْطَوْهُ أَوْ مَنَعُوهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair bin Al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is better for a man to put a rope on his shoulder, carry a bundle of firewood, and bring it to the market to sell, earning wealth from it to spend on himself, than to go around begging from people, whether they give him something or not."
Hadith 5721
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ طَيِّبٌ لَا يَقْبَلُ إِلَّا 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 ثُمَّ يَمُدُّ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ وَمَطْعَمُهُ حَرَامٌ وَمَشْرَبُهُ حَرَامٌ وَمَلْبَسُهُ حَرَامٌ وَغُذِّيَ بِالْحَرَامِ فَأَنَّى يُسْتَجَابُ لِذَلِكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O people! Allah Almighty is pure and accepts only that which is pure, and indeed Allah Almighty has commanded the believers with the same command that He gave to His messengers. Allah the Exalted says: O Messengers! Eat of the pure things and do righteous deeds; surely I am aware of what you do. (: Surah Al-Mu’minun: 51) And He also said: O believers! Eat of the pure things which We have provided for you as sustenance. (: Surah Al-Baqarah: 172) Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned a man who undertakes a long journey, his hair is disheveled and covered with dust, and he stretches his hands towards the sky and supplicates: O my Lord! O my Lord! While his food, drink, clothing, and nourishment are unlawful, so how can his supplication be accepted?
Hadith 5722
عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَكْسِبُ عَبْدٌ مَالًا مِنْ حَرَامٍ فَيُنْفِقَ مِنْهُ فَيُبَارَكَ لَهُ وَلَا يَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ فَيُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَلَا يَتْرُكُهُ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ إِلَّا كَانَ زَادَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا يَمْحُو السَّيِّئَ بِالسَّيِّئِ وَلَكِنْ يَمْحُو السَّيِّئَ بِالْحَسَنِ إِنَّ الْخَبِيثَ لَا يَمْحُو الْخَبِيثَ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a servant earns unlawful wealth and spends from it, it is not accepted from him, and if he gives charity from such wealth, that too is not accepted, and when he leaves behind such wealth, it becomes his provision towards Hell. The reason is that Allah Almighty does not erase evil with evil, rather He removes evil with good. Surely, one impure thing cannot erase another impure thing.
Hadith 5723
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ لَا يُبَالِي الْمَرْءُ بِمَا أَخَذَ مِنَ الْمَالِ بِحَلَالٍ أَوْ حَرَامٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A time will surely come upon people when a person will not care whether he is acquiring wealth through lawful means or unlawful.
Hadith 5724
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ مَنِ اشْتَرَى ثَوْبًا بِعَشَرَةِ دَرَاهِمَ وَفِيهَا دِرْهَمٌ حَرَامٌ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلَاةً مَا دَامَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ وَقَالَ صُمَّتَا إِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who says: If a man buys a garment for ten dirhams and one dirham of it is from unlawful earnings, then as long as that cloth remains on his body, Allah Almighty will not accept his prayer. Then Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, put both his fingers in his ears and said: If I have not heard this from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, then may both my ears become deaf.
Hadith 5725
عَنْ عَامِرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَوْمَأَ بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ إِلَى أُذُنَيْهِ إِنَّ الْحَلَالَ بَيِّنٌ وَالْحَرَامَ بَيِّنٌ وَإِنَّ بَيْنَ الْحَلَالِ وَالْحَرَامِ مُشْتَبِهَاتٍ لَا يَدْرِي كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَمِنَ الْحَلَالِ هِيَ أَمْ مِنَ الْحَرَامِ فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا اسْتِبْرَاءً لِدِينِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ وَمَنْ وَاقَعَهَا يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَ الْحَرَامَ فَمَنْ رَعَى إِلَى جَنْبِ حِمًى يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَرْتَعَ فِيهِ وَلِكُلِّ مَلِكٍ حِمًى وَإِنَّ حِمَى اللَّهِ مَحَارِمُهُ وَإِنَّ فِي الْإِنْسَانِ مُضْغَةً إِذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ أَلَا وَهِيَ الْقَلْبُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying this, and at the same time he pointed towards his ears: Indeed, the lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, but between the lawful and unlawful there are some doubtful matters, many people are unaware of whether they are lawful or unlawful. Whoever avoids these doubtful matters has protected his religion and honor, and whoever indulges in them is close to falling into the unlawful. Its example is like a man who grazes his animals near a sanctuary; it is possible that they may enter it. Every king has a forbidden area, and the forbidden things of Allah Almighty are His prohibited matters. There is a piece of flesh in the human body; if it is sound, the whole body is sound, and if it is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt. Beware! That is the heart.
Hadith 5726
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِكَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ يَا كَعْبَ بْنَ عُجْرَةَ إِنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ لَحْمٌ نَبَتَ مِنْ سُحْتٍ النَّارُ أَوْلَى بِهِ
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.
Hadith 5727
عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ سَيَكُونُ قَوْمٌ يَأْكُلُونَ بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ كَمَا تَأْكُلُ الْبَقَرَةُ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Soon there will appear people who will consume with their tongues just as a cow grazes from the earth.
Hadith 5728
عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ قَالَ كَانَتْ لِمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِيكَرِبَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ جَارِيَةٌ تَبِيعُ اللَّبَنَ وَيَقْبِضُ الْمِقْدَامُ الثَّمَنَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ تَبِيعُ اللَّبَنَ وَتَقْبِضُ الثَّمَنَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَمَا بَأْسٌ بِذَلِكَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ لَا يَنْفَعُ فِيهِ إِلَّا الدِّينَارُ وَالدِّرْهَمُ
Abu Bakr bin Abi Maryam says that Sayyiduna Miqdam bin Ma'di Yakrib (may Allah be pleased with him) had a slave girl who used to sell milk, and he used to take the price of that milk. Someone said to him: Subhan Allah! (How astonishing) The slave girl sells the milk and you take the price? He replied: There is nothing sinful in this. I myself heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that a time will come upon the people when only dinar and dirham will be of use.
