Riyad as-Salihin 1851 (Book 18, Hadith 44) #38340
The Purity of Allah and Lawful Consumption

SUMMARY: Allah only accepts that which is pure, and believers should only consume lawful things.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah said, "O people! Allah is Pure and, therefore, accepts only that which is pure. Allah has commanded the believers as He has commanded His Messengers by saying: 'O Messengers! Eat of the good things, and do good deeds'. (23:51) And He said: 'O you who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism)! Eat of the lawful things that We have provided you".'. (2:172). Then he made a mention of the person who travels for a long period of time, his hair are dishevelled and covered with dust. He lifts his hand towards the sky and thus makes the supplication: 'My Rabb! My Rabb!' But his food is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, his clothes are unlawful and his nourishment is unlawful, how can, then his supplication be accepted?" Muslim.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏يا أيها الناس إن الله طيب لا يقبل إلا طيباً، وإن الله أمر المؤمنين بما أمر به المرسلين، فقال تعالى‏:‏ ‏{‏يا أيها الرسل كلوا من الطيباب واعلموا صالحاً‏}‏، وقال تعالى‏:‏ ‏{‏يا أيها الذين آمنوا كلوا من طيبات ما رزقناكم‏}‏ ثم ذكر الرجل يطيل السفر أشعث أغبر يمد يديه إلى السماء ‏:‏ يا رب يارب، ومطعمه حرام، ومشربه حرام، وملبسه حرام، وغذي بالحرام فأنى يستجاب لذلك‏!‏‏؟‏‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

This hadith from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ teaches us about the importance of purity in our lives. We must strive to keep ourselves and our actions pure in order to please Allah. Additionally, we must ensure that what we consume is lawful according to Islamic teachings. This includes food, drink, clothing, and other nourishment. The Prophet ﷺ tells us a story of a person who travels for a long time and his hair becomes disheveled with dust as he lifts his hands towards the sky in supplication but his sustenance is unlawful; thus his supplication will not be accepted by Allah. This hadith serves as an important reminder for us to always strive for purity in all aspects of our lives so that we can receive acceptance from Allah.
