ابن حبّان:٤٤١٠أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا ظَهْرَ فِي قَوْمٍ الزِّنَى وَالرِّبَا إِلَّا أَحَلُوا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ عِقَابَ اللَّهِ جَلَّا وَعَلَا»
