آكِلُ الرِّبا مُستَحِلاًّ مُحارِبٌ The Usurer Who Justifies Himself Must be Fought

10ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ لَمّا بلَغهُ أنّ رَجلاً كانَ يَأكُلُ الرِّبا ويُسَمِّيهِ اللِّباءَ ـ: لئن أمكَنَنِي اللّه‏ُ عزّوجلّ (مِنهُ) لَأضرِبَنَّ عُنُقَهُ.

10– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) was once informed of a man who was extorting usury and calling it liba’ instead of riba (usury) to justify his actions, with regards to whom Imam said, 'If Allah gave me the power to, I would have him beheaded.’[al-Kafi, v. 5, p. 147, no. 11]
