The nature of Riba and rationale of prohibition : the first interest free bank

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, Dear scholar, recently we found in a local book written by a historian, that the Prophet (PBUH) founded the world's first interest free bank. As far as we know, though interest was declared Haram, there was no formal banking system at Prophet's (PBUH) time. Will you please enlighten us as to the exact status of this issue at that time. With best regards. Allah Hafiz. Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your constant help
