Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever aids falsehood in order to push aside the truth by it has freed himself from the protection of Allah Almighty and the protection of His Messenger. Whoever walks to the authority of Allah on earth in order to humiliate it, Allah Almighty will humiliate him, along with the disgrace He stores up for him on the Day of Resurrection. The authority of Allah on earth is His Book and the Sunnah of His Prophet. Whoever is put in charge of any matter of the Muslims and then appoints over them a man as an official, while he knows that among them there is someone more deserving of that office and more knowledgeable of the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, has betrayed Allah, His Messenger and all the believers. Whoever neglects the needs of the people, Allah Almighty will not look to his need until he looks to the needs of the people and gives them their rights. Whoever consumes a single dirham of usury (riba), it is like committing fornication thirty-three times. And flesh that has grown from the unlawful, the Fire is more deserving of it."
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains Abu Muhammad al-Jazari Hamzah, and I do not know him. The remaining narrators of this report are the narrators of the Sahih.
