English translation

'Abdallah b. ‘Amr told that God’s Messenger cursed the one who bribes and the one who takes bribes. Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah transmitted it. Tirmidhi transmitted it on ‘Abdallah’s authority and on that of Abu Huraira. Ahmad and Baihaqi, in <i>Shu'ab al-iman</i>, transmitted it on the authority of Thauban, who added that the <i>raish</i> is the go-between regarding a bribe.
