1206. Ibn Mas'ūd narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ cursed the one who consumed Ribā, and the one who charged it, those who witnessed it, and the one who recorded it." (Hasan) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Umar, 'Alī, Jābir [and Abū Juhaifah]. The Hadīth of 'Abdullāh (bin Mas'ūd) is a Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.
١٢٠٦ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: «لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ آكِلَ» الرِّبَا وَمُوكِلَهُ وَشَاهِدَيْهِ وَكَاتِبَهُ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عُمَرَ، وَعَلِيٍّ، وَجَابِرٍ، وَأَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ. حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللهِ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

This narration shows the severity of Ribā or usury (lending money on interest.) Dealing in Ribā is so abominable and such a grave sin that any kind of participation in it is a cause of curse from Allāh. Whoever consumes Ribā, whoever charges it, whoever witnesses it and whoever records it — all are participants in this crime and liable to punishment. So, it is very essential to avoid such dealings.
