Usurers Under the Feet of Fir’on
In another tradition it is said that when these people saw the followers of Fir’on they tried to get up and run away. But due to overlarge bellies they could not rise up and consequently the followers of Fir’on trampled them under their feet and moved on.
It is narrated from the Holy Prophet (S) that he said:
“When adultery and interest becomes common in a town the angels are given permission to destroy its inhabitants.”
Another Prophetic tradition in the same vein says:
“When the people of my Umma start taking interest, tremors and earthquakes will be frequent.”
(Mustadrak ul-Wasa’il)
