عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ يَظْهَرُ فِيهِمُ الرِّبَا إِلَّا أُخِذُوا بِالسَّنَةِ وَمَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ يَظْهَرُ فِيهِمُ الرُّشَا إِلَّا أُخِذُوا بِالرُّعْبِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When usury becomes widespread in a nation, it is afflicted with famine, and when bribery becomes common in a nation, the awe of others is imposed upon it.
