The slave of Hadhrat Abu Bakr(rahiyallahu anhu) used to work and bring
something for his master to eat. Hadhrat Abu Bakr(rahiyallahu anhu) used
to enquire about the source before consuming it. If it was acceptable, he
would consume it, otherwise not. One day, as usual, the slave brought
something and Hadhrat Abu Bakr(rahiyallahu anhu) ate it without enquiring
about it. The slave asked in surprise:"Today you are ate without enquiring?"
Hadhrat Abu Bakr(rahiyallahu anhu) said, " I am very hungry, hence I forgot.
Where did you acquire this from ?" The slave replied, "I was a soothsayer
during the times of ignorance and someone benefited from my services. He
promised to compensate me. Today, by coincidence I passed by his place
where he was having a walimah and he gave me some of that food."
So eat of the sustenance which Allah has provided for you lawful
and good; and be grateful for the favors of Allah if it is He whom
you serve. (Qur'an 16:114)
On the authority of Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
The Messenger (peace be upon him)of Allah said: "Allah the Almighty is
good and accepts only that which is good. Allah has commanded the
Faithful to do that which He commanded the Messengers, and the Almighty
has said: "O ye Messengers! Eat of the good things, and do right....."
(Quran 23:51).
And Allah the Almighty has said: "O ye who believe! Eat of the good
things wherewith We have provided you....." (2:172).
Then he mentioned [the case of] a man who, having journeyed far, is
disheveled and dusty and who spreads out his hands to the sky [saying]: O
Lord! O Lord!-while his food is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, his clothing
unlawful, and he is nourished unlawfully, so how can he be answered!"
(Muslim)
