hadith 4064
The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Verily a servant raises his hands to Allah [in supplication] while his food is unlawful! So how can his supplications be answered while he is in this state?!
رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): إنَّ العبدَ لَيَرفَعُ يَدَهُ إلى اللّهِ ومَطعَمُهُ حَرامٌ، فكيفَ يُستَجابُ لَهُ وهذا حالُهُ ؟!

hadith 4065
The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Make your earnings lawful and your supplication will be answered, for verily when a man raises an unlawful morsel of food to his mouth, his supplication is not answered for forty days.
رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): أطِبْ كَسبَكَ تُستَجَبْ دَعوَتُكَ ، فإنَّ الرّجلَ يَرفَعُ اللُّقْمَةَ إلى فِيهِ (حَراماً) فما تُستَجابُ له دَعوَةٌ أربَعينَ يوماً.

hadith 4066
Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘If any of you wants his supplication to be answered then he should make a lawful earning and stop wronging people, for verily the supplication of a servant who has unlawful food in his stomach or has wronged anyone from Allahs creation will not be raised to Allah.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إذا أرَادَ أحدُكُم أن يُستَجابَ لَهُ فَليُطَيِّبْ كَسبَهُ ولْيَخرُجْ مِن مَظالِمِ الناسِ ، و إنَّ اللّهَ لا يُرفَعُ إلَيهِ دُعاءُ عبدٍ وفي بَطنِهِ حرامٌ أو عندَهُ مَظلِمَةٌ لِأحَدٍ مِن خَلقِهِ.
