Certainly! The Hadith you are referring to is found in Sahih Muslim:
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: "سَبْعَةٌ يُظِلُّهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي ظِلِّهِ يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلُّهُ، وَذُكِرَ رَجُلٌ بِدُنْيَاهُ فِيمَا عَلَى يَدَيْهِ مِنَ الرِّبَا وَذُكِرَ رَجُلٌ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَتِهِ بِخِبْرِ فَاحِشَةٍ هَابَهَا وَذُكِرَ رَجُلٌ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ خَالِيًا فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ، وَذُكِرَ رَجُلٌ فَتَرَكَ الْمَعَازِفَ مَنْ خَافَ مِنَ اللَّهِ ثَوَابَهُ وَذُكِرَ رَجُلٌ مَا سَئِلَ بِهِ اللَّهَ قَطُّ إِلَّا جَلَّى بِهِ عِثْرَتَهُ، وَذُكِرَ رَجُلٌ فِي نَفْسِهِ بَضَاعَةٌ أَعْطَاهَا تَاجِرٌ فَأَحَلَّفَ عَلَيْهِ لَمْ يُعَاهِدْهُ إِلَّا اللَّهَ بِفُضْلِهِ وَذُكِرَ رَجُلٌ مَاتَ شَابًّا اسْتَكْمَلَ مِنْ شَبَابِهِ لِلَّهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عِنْدَ نَفْسِهِ يَا مَلَائِكَتِي اتَّخِذُوا لِي عَبْدًا يَأْكُلُ عَشَرَ صَلَوَاتٍ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي بَيْتَهُ فَيَصَلِّي فِيهِمْ"
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: "دَخَلَ الْرِبَا وَأَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ"
سَلاَمَتَاً لِقَوْلٍ مِّن رَّبٍّ رَّحِيمٍ
Translation:
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Seven persons will be shaded by Allah under His shade on the Day when there will be no shade except His shade, a man who remembers Allah in solitude and his eyes well up with tears, a man who rejects the advances of a woman of noble birth and says, 'I fear Allah,’ a person who gives charity and hides it so much that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given, a man who is approached by a person seeking a loan and he says 'I will not lend you anything, for fear of falling into Riba (usury),' a man who cultivates good relations with Allah's creatures, a man who remembered Allah when he was alone and his eyes welled up with tears, and a man who was tempted by an attractive woman with high status, but he said: 'I fear Allah.'"
Narrated Abu Huraira, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Riba has destroyed people who came before you."

May Allah bless us all with knowledge and guide us to stay away from Riba and all forms of prohibited transactions.
