Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whenever usury (riba) spreads among a people, they are seized by famine; and whenever bribery spreads among a people, they are seized by terror."
Imam Ahmad recorded it; its chain contains a narrator whom I do not know.
