بَلَغَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ الرِّبَا وَ يُسَمِّيهِ اللِّبَأَ فَقَالَ لَئِنْ أَمْكَنَنِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ [مِنْهُ] لَأَضْرِبَنَّ عُنُقَهُ .


Translation

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Ubeyd Bin Zurara who said, ‘It reached Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> on behalf of a man that he was consuming the interest and he had referred to it as the milk, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic were to Make me<sup>asws</sup> to be able over him, I<sup>asws</sup> would strike his neck’.
