Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hanzalah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“One dirham of usury that a person consumes knowingly is more severe (i.e., worse) for him than committing adultery thirty-six times.”This narration is also transmitted with another chain, however, it is not transmitted as a marfu‘ (directly attributed to the Prophet) hadith.
