Riba (ربا, الرِّبَا)

Interest

الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ الرِّبَا لَا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ الَّذِي يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّمَا الْبَيْعُ مِثْلُ الرِّبَا ۗ وَأَحَلَّ اللَّهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبَا ۚ فَمَنْ جَاءَهُ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِ فَانْتَهَىٰ فَلَهُ مَا سَلَفَ وَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ وَمَنْ عَادَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ {275}

Those who are consuming the interest are not standing except as the standing of the one whom the Satan has confused him from the craze. That is because they are saying, ‘But rather, the trading is similar to ‘الرِّبَا’ the interest’; and Allah has Permitted the trading and Prohibited the interest. So the one to whom comes an Advice from his Lord, and he ends it, then for him would be what has passed and his affairs are (up) to Allah; and the one who returns (to it), so they are the inmates of the Fire, they would be in it eternally [2:275]

يَمْحَقُ اللَّهُ الرِّبَا وَيُرْبِي الصَّدَقَاتِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ {276}

Allah Obliterates ‘’الرِّبَا the interest, and He Nourishes the charities; and Allah does not love all ungrateful sinners [2:276]

العياشي: عن شهاب بن عبد ربه، قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله (عليه السلام) يقول: «آكل الربا لا يخرج من الدنيا حتى يتخبطه الشيطان

Al Ayyashi, from Shahaab Bin Abd Rabbih who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘The consumer of the usury (interest) does not exit from the world until the Satan-la confuses him.[1]
