Abu Ja`far ibn Jarir (may Allah be merciful with him) commented on this Ayah: Those who eat Ribâ (usury) will not stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaitân (Satan) leading him to insanity. saying, "Allah means that Satan allures the one who consumes Riba (usury) to insanity during his lifetime, as Satan causes him depression and seizure because of Al­Mass (insanity)."

Ibn Kathir (may Allah be merciful with him) said regarding the Ayah: Those who eat Ribâ (usury) will not stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaitân (Satan) leading him to insanity. "The people referred to in the Ayah will be resurrected from their graves on the Day of Resurrection in a similar condition to someone who is possessed by Satan i.e. in a condemned way."
Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "The usurer is resurrected on the Day of Resurrection as a choking insane person." Related by Ibn Abu Hatim.
