From Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu 'anhu he said: Rasulullah shallallahu`alaihi wa sallam said: Verily Allah ta'ala is good, does not accept except what is good. And indeed, Allah commands the believers as He ordered His messengers with His words: O Apostles, eat well and do good deeds. And He said: O you who believe, eat of the good of what We have provided for you. Then he mentioned that someone was traveling long distances in a tangled and dusty state. He raised his hands to the sky and said: O my Lord, O my Lord, even though his food is unclean (haram), his drink is diluted (haram), his clothes are dirty (haram), and his needs are met from something messy (haram), then (if that is the case) how will his prayer be granted.
