Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘People, Allah is good and accepts only what is good. Allah commanded the believers with what He commanded the messengers. He said, “Messengers, eat from the good things and do righteous deeds; I know well what you do” (Qur’an 23:51), and, “Believers, eat from the good things We have provided for you” (Qur’an 2:172).’ Then he mentioned a man who travels a long distance, disheveled and covered in dust, raising his hands to heaven and saying, ‘My Lord, my Lord!’ Yet his food is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, his clothing is unlawful, and he has been nourished by what is unlawful. ‘How, then, can his supplication be answered?’ Abu ‘Isa graded this hadith hasan gharib. He said it is known only through Fudayl ibn Marzuq and identified Abu Hazim as al-Ashja‘i, Salman, the freedman of ‘Azzah al-Ashja‘iyyah.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The report’s concluding question concerns whether the man’s supplication will be answered, not whether his possessions are accepted.
