English translation

2276. It was narrated that 'Umar bin Khattâb said: "The last thing to be revealed was the Verse on usury, but the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ died before he had explained it to us. So give up usury (interest) and doubtful things." (Da'if)

Arabic text

2276 - حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ: «إِنَّ آخِرَ مَا نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الرِّبَا، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُبِضَ وَلَمْ يُفَسِّرْهَا لَنَا، فَدَعُوا الرِّبَا وَالرِّيبَةَ»

Commentary

The regulations of interest were the latest in revelation among the issues of lawful and unlawful. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ explained the interest properly, and he prohibited its contemporary various forms clearly. Despite that, there can be some forms of it which will be invented and introduced later, and the scholars will have to strive to clarify them through analogy. Therefore, the scholars should issue clear religious verdicts after scrutinizing these matters.
