Arabic Text

‏ ‏وَلَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏يَقُولُ ‏ ‏لَئِنْ أَنْتُمْ اتَّبَعْتُمْ ‏ ‏أَذْنَابَ ‏ ‏الْبَقَرِ وَتَبَايَعْتُمْ ‏ ‏بِالْعِينَةِ ‏ ‏وَتَرَكْتُمْ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَيُلْزِمَنَّكُمْ اللَّهُ مَذَلَّةً فِي أَعْنَاقِكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْزَعُ مِنْكُمْ حَتَّى تَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى مَا كُنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَتَتُوبُونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ ‏

English Translation

[Ibn 'Umar continued:] 'And I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "If you follow the tails of cows, engage in 'ina transactions [a form of usurious sale], and abandon jihad in the path of Allah — Allah will impose a humiliation upon your necks that will not be lifted from you until you return to what you were upon and repent to Allah."'
