Three Things That Remove Barakah

Question

Could you verify this narration?

“When there is wastage/extravagance, adultery [zina] and deception/treachery found in one’s home, then the blessings [barakah] will be removed”

 

Answer

I have not come across these words as a Hadith of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). Imam Abu Nu’aym (rahimahullah) has recorded this as the statement of the Tabi’i, Yahya ibn Abi Kathir (rahimahullah).

(Hilyatul Awliya, vol. 3, pg. 69)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
