287 – Chapter: The severe prohibition of ribā (usury)

Allah, Exalted is He, says:
“Those who consume ribā will not stand (1) except as one whom Satan has confounded with his touch. That is because they say, ‘Trade is just like ribā,’ whereas Allah has permitted trade and forbidden ribā. So whoever receives an admonition from his Lord and desists may keep what is past, and his case rests with Allah; but whoever reverts—those are the people of the Fire, abiding therein. Allah obliterates ribā (2) and nurtures charities…,” up to His words, “…O you who believe, fear Allah and relinquish whatever remains of ribā.” (Surah al-Baqarah, 2:275-278)

The authentic collections contain many well-known hadiths on this topic, among them the ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah mentioned in the previous chapter.

1622 – Ibn Masʿūd – may Allah be pleased with him – reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ cursed the one who consumes ribā and the one who pays it. Narrated by Muslim; al-Tirmidhī and others add: “and its two witnesses and the scribe.” (3)

288 – Chapter: The prohibition of showing off (riyāʾ)

Allah, Exalted is He, says: “They were commanded only to worship Allah, dedicating the religion to Him alone, turning away from all falsehood (4).” (Surah al-Bayyinah, 5)
And He says: “Do not nullify your charities with reminders of generosity and harm, like the one who spends his wealth to be seen by people.” (Surah al-Baqarah, 2:264)
And He, the Exalted, says:

(1) That is, from their graves, and the term al-mass here means madness. (2) Meaning: He removes its blessing so that no benefit is gained from it in this life or the next; “and He nurtures the sadaqat” means He multiplies and causes them to grow; “and leave what remains of the riba” means abandon it completely. (3) The additional wording reported by al-Tirmidhi is sound; see Sahih Sunan al-Tirmidhi (abridged isnad), no. 964, and Sahih Sunan Ibn Majah (abridged isnad), no. 1847. (4) Hunafaʾ means turning toward the religion of Islam and away from everything else.

(١) أي : من قبورهم . و(المس) : الجنون . (٢) أي : يذهب بركته فلا ينتفع به في الدنيا والآخرة (ويربي الصدقات) أي : يكثرها وينميها . (وذروا ما بقي من الربا) أي : اتركوه .
