those who swallow usury cannot rise up save as he ariseth whom the devil hath prostrated by touch. that is because they say trade is just like usury whereas allah permitteth trading and forbiddeth usury. he unto whom an admonition from his lord cometh and refraineth he shall keep that which is past and his affair is with allah. as for him who returneth such are rightful owners of the fire. they will abide therein.
الذين يأكلون الربا لا يقومون إلا كما يقوم الذي يتخبطه الشيطان من المس ذلك بأنهم قالوا إنما البيع مثل الربا وأحل الله البيع وحرم الربا فمن جاءه موعظة من ربه فانتهى فله ما سلف وأمره إلى الله ومن عاد فأولئك أصحاب النار هم فيها خالدون
