بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الرِّبَا فِي الدَّيْنِWhat is Reported Regarding Usury in Debt
Hadith 1381
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " كَانَ الرِّبَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِلرَّجُلِ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ الْحَقُّ إِلَى أَجَلٍ، فَإِذَا حَلَّ الْأَجَلُ، قَالَ : أَتَقْضِي أَمْ تُرْبِي ؟ فَإِنْ قَضَى أَخَذَ، وَإِلَّا زَادَهُ فِي حَقِّهِ وَأَخَّرَ عَنْهُ فِي الْأَجَلِ " . ¤
Hazrat Zaid bin Aslam said: In the days of ignorance, usury was practiced in this way: when a person's fixed-term loan became due upon another person, and the term expired, the creditor would say to the debtor: Either pay the loan or give interest. If he paid the loan, it was good; if not, the creditor would increase his loan and then set a new term.
