How sound is the Hadith: "Indeed, among the worst forms of usury is to unjustly violate a Muslim's honor"?
The aforementioned was narrated by Abu Dawud with the wording: "Indeed, among the worst forms of usury (riba) is unjustly violating the honor of a Muslim," and it was authenticated by Al-Albani. It was also narrated by Al-Tabarani, Al-Hakim, and others with similar wordings, among them: "Riba has seventy-two doors, the least of which is like a man committing incest with his mother, and the worst form of riba is a man violating the honor of his brother." In a wording by Al-Bayhaqi in Shu'ab Al-Iman: "Riba has seventy sins, the least heinous of which is like a man lying with his mother, and the worst form of riba is a person violating the honor of his Muslim brother," and it was authenticated by Al-Maqdisi and Al-Albani. Al-Albani mentioned it in Al-Targhib with the wording: "Indeed, among the major sins is a man unjustly violating the honor of a Muslim man," and he said about it: "Sahih li ghayrihi (authentic due to corroborating evidence)."
