Kinds and conditions of Blood

usurer swimming in a river of blood

Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, Fath al-Bari, commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Dream Interpretation

His statement: (for he is the devourer of usury). Ibn Hubayrah said: The devourer of usury was punished by having to swim in the red river and by having stones stuffed into his mouth only because the basis of usury operates in gold, and gold is red. As for the angel's stuffing the stone into his mouth, that is an indication that it avails him nothing; and likewise usury, for its practitioner imagines that his wealth is increasing while Allah, behind him, is wiping it out.
