Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) states: The one who consumes usury (riba), the one who pays it, its two witnesses if they know it to be usury, the woman who tattoos and the woman who gets herself tattooed, the one who procrastinates in (paying) zakah, and the one who returns to the ignorant life of the desert Bedouin after having emigrated (hijrah): all of these have been declared accursed on the blessed tongue of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Day of Resurrection. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, since he used Yahya bin Isa al-Ramli as evidence, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
