(لَعْنَةُ اللهِ عَلَى المُتَوَسِّطِ فِي الرِّشْوَةِ)
(Allah’s curse upon the one who mediates bribery)
Hadith 3755
وَرَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ» عَنِ ثَوْبَانَ وَزَادَ: «وَالرَّائِشَ» يَعْنِي الَّذِي يَمْشِي بَيْنَهُمَا
Ahmad and Baihaqi, in Shu'ab al-iman, transmitted it on the authority of Thauban, who added that the raish is the go-between regarding a bribe.
