الرِّبَا رِبَاءَانِ رِبًا يُؤْكَلُ وَ رِبًا لَا يُؤْكَلُ فَأَمَّا الَّذِي يُؤْكَلُ فَهَدِيَّتُكَ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ تَطْلُبُ مِنْهُ الثَّوَابَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهَا فَذَلِكَ الرِّبَا الَّذِي يُؤْكَلُ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ ما آتَيْتُمْ مِنْ رِباً لِيَرْبُوَا فِي أَمْوالِ النَّاسِ فَلا يَرْبُوا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَ أَمَّا الَّذِي لَا يُؤْكَلُ فَهُوَ الرِّبَا الَّذِي نَهَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنْهُ وَ أَوْعَدَ عَلَيْهِ النَّارَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Ibrahim Bin Umar Al Yamani, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The interest are two (types) of interest – an interest which can be eaten and an interest which cannot be eaten. So as for the interest which can be eaten, so it is a gift to the man. Seeking the Rewards from it is better than (eating) it. So that is the interest which can be eaten, and these are the Words of the Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:30#h39"><a href="/books/quran:30#h39">[30:39]</a></a> And whatever you give out as interest, so that it may increase in the property of the people, it will not increase in the Presence of Allah</span>. And as for that which cannot be eaten, so it is the interest which Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic has Forbidden from it, and Prepared the Fire upon it’.
