Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who gives a bribe, the one who takes a bribe, and the ra'ish (the narrator says: meaning the person who arranges the dealing between the two of them).
Ahmad, al-Bazzar and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded it; its chain contains Abu al-Khattab, who is majhul (unknown).
