2.275 . Those who swallow usury cannot rise up save as he ariseth whom the devil hath prostrated by ( his ) touch . That is because they say : Trade is just like usury ; whereas Allah permitteth trading and forbiddeth usury . He unto whom an admonition from his Lord cometh , and ( he ) refraineth ( in obedience thereto ) , he shall keep ( the profits of ) that which is past , and his affair ( henceforth ) is with Allah . As for him who returneth ( to usury ) Such are rightful owners of the Fire . They will abide therein .
Narrated Abu Said: A bedouin came to the Prophet and asked him about emigration. The Prophet said to him, "May Allah be merciful to you. The matter of emigration is difficult. Have you got some camels?" He replied in the affirmative. The Prophet asked him, "Do you pay their Zakat?" He replied in the affirmative. He asked, "Do you lend them so that their milk may be utilized by others?" The bedouin said, "Yes." The Prophet asked, "Do you milk them on the day off watering them?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet said, "Do good deeds beyond the merchants (or the sea) and Allah will never disregard any of your deeds." (See Hadith No. 260, Vol. 5)
