Is the noble verse: (And whatever you give in usury so that it may increase in people's wealth, it does not increase with Allah) considered evidence for the prohibition of usury?

This verse is cited as proof of the prohibition of riba (usury/interest) because Allah threatened the one who engages in riba with the eradication of growth and blessing from his wealth. This indicates that riba is forbidden. Usurious wealth may appear to grow, but its blessing is effaced, and it is transient. The effect of eradication would not be significant unless riba were prohibited. Some exegetes view this verse as a prelude to the prohibition of riba, or as being addressed to the polytheists, while also serving as a warning to Muslims.
