Hadith 1

رَوَى إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ وَ سَمَاعَةُ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا حَدُّ آكِلِ اَلرِّبَا بَعْدَ اَلْبَيِّنَةِ قَالَ "يُؤَدَّبُ فَإِنْ عَادَ أُدِّبَ فَإِنْ عَادَ قُتِلَ".

Ishaq ibn Ammar and Samaah narrated from Abu Basir from Abu Abdullah (a.s) who said: I asked Imam - "What is the punishment for one who consumes usury after clear evidence (has been established)?" Imam (a.s) replied: "He is to be disciplined. If he returns to it, he is disciplined again. If he repeats it a third time, he is to be killed."
