Earning in Unlawful ways

10- عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمَّادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَقَدِمْنا إِلى‏ ما عَمِلُوا مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْناهُ هَباءً مَنْثُوراً فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ لأشَدَّ بَيَاضاً مِنَ الْقَبَاطِيِّ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهَا كُونِي هَبَاءً وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا شُرِعَ لَهُمُ الْحَرَامُ أَخَذُوهُ.
10. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Salih ibn abu Hammad from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from certain persons of his people who has said the following: “About the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘We arrived upon what they had done and turned it into scattered dust’, (25:25) abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ’Even if their deeds are whiter than Coptic fabrics Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says, “Become dust.” It is because when they come upon unlawful matters they take it.’”
