Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is there a hadith that says: to the one who eats riba (usury or interest), "Put on your armor so you can fight?" He says: "Who am I to fight?" He is told: "You fight Allah?"
Answer:
I do not know. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Al-Baqarah 2:279] And the war is from Allah. Allah sends down soldiers upon him, the soldiers of the heavens and the earth. Allah sends down locusts upon him. Allah sends down diseases upon him. Allah sends down winds upon him. Allah sends down fire and drowning upon his wealth. Allah sends down thieves upon him.
Allah sends down upon him those He sends down, the oppressors who take his wealth. This is the meaning of war. Its meaning is that Allah sends down soldiers and weapons; He sends down soldiers that you do not know and do not see.
And no one knows the soldiers of your Lord except He. And to Allah belong the soldiers of the heavens and the earth. He sends down upon you things you do not see. Yes.
