Those who live on usury shall rise up before God like men whom Satan has demented by his touch; for they say, "Buying and selling is only a kind of usury." But God has made trade lawful and made usury unlawful. Therefore, he who desists because of the admonition that has come to him from his Lord may retain what he has received in the past; and it will be for God to judge him. Those who revert to it shall be the inmates of the Fire; they shall abide therein forever.
آنان كه ربا مى‌خورند، در قيامت چون كسانى از قبر برمى‌خيزند كه به افسون شيطان ديوانه شده باشند. و اين به كيفر آن است كه گفتند: ربا نيز چون معامله است. در حالى كه خدا معامله را حلال و ربا را حرام كرده است. هر كس كه موعظه خدا به او رسيد و از رباخوارى باز ايستاد، خدا از گناهان پيشين او درگذرد و كارش به خدا واگذار مى‌شود. و آنان كه بدان كار بازگردند، اهل جهنّمند و جاودانه در آن خواهند بود.
