Chapter on Recognizing the Major Sins for Which Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty, Has Threatened with Hellfire
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اَلرِّبَا لِئَلاَّ يَذْهَبَ اَلْمَعْرُوفُ".
In the narration of Muhammad ibn Atiyyah from Zurara, from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, he said: "Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, only forbade usury so that acts of kindness would not disappear."
