It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that this verse was recited in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "O people, eat of what is on the earth, lawful and good." Then Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah, supplicate to Allah to make me mustajab al-da'wah (one whose supplication is answered)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Sa'd, keep your food lawful and pure, and you will become one whose supplication is answered. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! Indeed, when a servant casts an unlawful morsel into his stomach, no deed of his is accepted for forty days; and any servant whose flesh has grown from unlawful wealth and usury (riba), the Fire is more fitting for him."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is narrated from Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) only with this chain, and al-Ihtiyati (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
