Is the following correct to quote as the words of our Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam)
من بات كلا من طلب الحلال بات مغفورا له؟
Answer
This Hadith is recorded in Al-Mu’jamul Awsat of Imam Tabarani (rahimahullah)
(see Majma’ul Bahrayn, Hadith: 1924)
‘Allamah ‘Iraqi (rahimahullah) commented on the chain by saying: ‘It has some weakness’
(Takhrijul Ihya, Hadith: 1660, also see Targhib, vol. 2 pg. 524)
This Hadith is suitable to quote for the virtue of earning a halal livelihood.
Hereunder is the Translation for the benefit of all:
Whoever spends the night tired from earning a halal livelihood, does so while being forgiven.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
