Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 232

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ - قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " رَأَيْتُ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِي لَمَّا انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ ، فَنَظَرْتُ فَوْقَ - قَالَ عَفَّانُ : فَوْقِي - فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَعْدٍ وَبُرُوقٍ وَصَوَاعِقَ . قَالَ : فَأَتَيْتُ عَلَى قَوْمٍ بُطُونُهُمْ كَالْبُيُوتِ ، فِيهَا الْحَيَّاتُ تُرَى مِنْ خَارِجِ بُطُونِهِمْ . قُلْتُ : مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ يَا جِبْرِيلُ ؟ قَالَ : هَؤُلَاءِ أَكَلَةُ الرِّبَا ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلْتُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَنَظَرْتُ أَسْفَلَ مِنِّي ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرِيحٍ وَأَصْوَاتٍ وَدُخَانٍ ، فَقُلْتُ : مَا هَذَا يَا جِبْرِيلُ ؟ قَالَ : هَذِهِ شَيَاطِينُ يَحْرِفُونَ عَلَى أَعْيُنِ بَنِي آدَمَ لَا يَتَفَكَّرُوا فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ، وَلَوْلَا ذَلِكَ لَرَأَوُا الْعَجَائِبَ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرَوَى ابْنُ مَاجَهْ مِنْهُ قِصَّةَ أَكَلَةِ الرِّبَا ، وَفِيهِ أَبُو الصَّلْتِ لَا يُعْرَفُ ، وَلَمْ يَرْوِ عَنْهُ غَيْرُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the night I was taken on the Mi'raj, when we reached the seventh heaven and I looked upward (here one narrator transmitted the wording: I looked above myself), there was thunder and flashing lightning. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says: I came upon some people whose bellies were like houses, and in them were snakes that could be seen from outside their bellies. I asked: O Jibril! Who are these people? He said: These are those who consume usury (riba). When, coming down, I reached the lowest heaven and looked below me, there before me were wind, voices and smoke. I asked: O Jibril! What is this? He said: These are devils who hover over the eyes of the children of Adam so that they do not reflect upon the dominion of the heavens and the earth; were it not for that, they would see wonders."
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and Imam Ibn Majah recorded from it the story of those who consume usury. Its chain contains a narrator, Abu al-Salt, who is not known, and no one besides Ali bin Zayd narrated from him.
