Ibn Abbas on Rizq: Allah decreases his provision if he takes Haram

Sa’id ibn Jubayr reported: Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “There is no believer or sinner but that Allah Almighty has decreed his provision from the lawful. If he is patient until it comes to him, Allah will give it to him. If he becomes anxious and consumes something from the unlawful, Allah will decrease his provision from the lawful.”

عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رضى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ قَالَ مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ وَلا فَاجِرٍ إِلا وَقَدْ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ رِزْقَهُ مِنَ الْحَلالِ فَإِنْ صَبَرَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ أَتَاهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَإِنْ جَزَعَ فَتَنَاوَلَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْحَرَامِ نَقَصَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ رِزْقِهِ الْحَلالِ
