​Usury

^{رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :}  إنّ اللَّهَ عزّوجلّ لَعَنَ آكِلَ الرِّبا ومُوكِلَهُ وكاتِبَهُ وشاهِدَيهِ . _{الأمالي للصدوق : 511 / 707 .}

 ^{The Prophet (SAWA) said,} 'Verily Allah, Mighty and Exalted, curses the usurer, his agent, his scribe and his two witnesses.' _{Amali al-Saduq, p. 346, no. 1}

^{رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :}  أتَيتُ ليلةَ اُسرِيَ بِي على‏ قَومٍ بُطونُهُم كالبيوتِ فيها الحَيّاتُ تُرى‏ مِن خارجِ بُطونِهِم ، فقلتُ : مَن هؤلاءِ يا جَبرئيلُ ؟ قالَ : هؤلاءِ أكَلَةُ الرِّبا . _{كنز العمّال : 31857 .}

 ^{The Prophet (SAWA) said,} 'During my Night-Journey up to the heavens, I was taken to a people whose bellies were as large as houses and contained serpents that could be seen from outside their bellies. I asked, 'Who are these people, O Gabriel?' He replied, 'They are the usurers.' _{Kanz al-Ummal, no. 31857}

^{رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :}  دِرهَمُ ربا أعظَمُ عِندَ اللَّهِ عزّوجلّ مِن سَبعينَ زَنيةً كلّها بِذاتِ مَحرمٍ في بيتِ اللَّهِ الحرامِ . _{كتاب من لا يحضره الفقيه : 4 / 367 / 5762 .}

 Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'A dirham earned by usury is worse in the sight of Allah than seventy counts of incest in the Holy Sanctuary of Allah.' _{al-Faqih, v. 4, p. 367, no. 5762}
