The Sufficient (Vol 5) · Hadith 1187 (#Ḥadīth #34)

34- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ الرَّجُلُ يَخْرُجُ ثُمَّ يَقْدَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَقَدْ أَفَادَ الْمَالَ الْكَثِيرَ فَلا نَدْرِي اكْتَسَبَهُ مِنْ حَلالٍ أَوْ حَرَامٍ فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَانْظُرْ فِي أَيِّ وَجْهٍ يُخْرِجُ نَفَقَاتِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ يُنْفِقُ فِيمَا لا يَنْبَغِي مِمَّا يَأْثَمُ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ.

34. Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa has narrated from those who narrated to him who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘ Abd Allah , a man traveled and then came back with a great deal of assets and we did not know if he had earned it in a lawful or unlawful ways. He (the Imam) said, ‘If such is the case, look how he spends it. If he spends in ways that he is not supposed to spend or is of the sinful ways it then is from unlawful ways.’”
