The Evil of Ribaa…
The Evil of Ribaa… Allaah, Most Glorified, Most High
says: { Those who devour ribaa do not stand except like one who has been driven to madness by the [evil] touch of Satan. That is because they say: “Surely, trade is like ribaa. But Allaah has made lawful trade and forbidden ribaa. So whoever receives an admonition from his Lord and stops devouring ribaa, shall not be punished for the past. His case is for Allaah [to judge], but whoever returns [to ribaa] such are the dwellers of the Fire - they will abide therein } (Soorah 2:275) Al-Bukhaari reports that the Prophet ε cursed the one who took or received ribaa. It is also reported by Al-Bukhaari, that Bilaal τ came to the Prophet ε
with some barni (a type of dates), who askedshim: “From where did you bring these?” Bilaal τ replied: “I had some inferior kind of dates and exchanged two sa’ah of them for one sa’ah of barni dates, in order to give them to the Prophet ε to eat.” Thereupon, the Prophet ε said: “Beware! Beware! This is precisely ribaa! This is precisely ribaa! Don’t do so, but if you want to buy (a superior kind of dates) sell the inferior kind of dates for money and then buy the superior kind of dates with that money.” And it is reported that ‘Umar ε said: “Abstain from ribaa and rabeebah (transactions resembling ribaa, in which there is some doubt).”
