4005 - وَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ اَلصَّادِقَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: يَمْحَقُ اَللّٰهُ اَلرِّبٰا وَ يُرْبِي اَلصَّدَقٰاتِ وَ قَدْ أَرَى مَنْ يَأْكُلُ اَلرِّبَا يَرْبُو مَالُهُ فَقَالَ "فَأَيُّ مَحْقٍ أَمْحَقُ مِنْ دِرْهَمٍ رِبًا يَمْحَقُ اَلدِّينَ فَإِنْ تَابَ مِنْهُ ذَهَبَ مَالُهُ وَ اِفْتَقَرَ".
Hadith.4005 - A man asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq 
about the saying of Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic:
"Allah (swt) destroys usury and gives increase for charities." (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:276).
He asked: "Yet I see those who consume usury, and their wealth increases."
Imam replied: "Is there any destruction greater than a dirham of usury that destroys one's religion? If he repents from it, his wealth will vanish, and he will become poor."
