Is "That which is forbidden, if it persists, destroys" a Prophetic Hadith?
No has been reported with this exact wording, but the general body of evidence indicates the dire consequences of (unlawful things). It eradicates blessing, as stated in the Almighty's words: "Allah destroys interest and gives increase for charities," and the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "And if they conceal and lie, the blessing of their transaction will be eradicated." Moreover, committing sins may prevent sustenance or disturb its purity, as in the Hadith: "Indeed, a man may be deprived of sustenance because of a sin he commits." Abu Hatim explained this by saying that sin disturbs the purity of sustenance.
