اُردوEn
عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((لَا يَأْتِي رَجُلٌ مَوْلَاهُ فَيَسْأَلُهُ مِنْ فَضْلٍ هُوَ عِنْدَهُ فَيَمْنَعُهُ إِلَّا دُعِيَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُجَاعٌ يَتَلَمَّظُ فَضْلُهُ الَّذِي مَنَعَهُ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ:) مَا مِنْ مَوْلَى يَأْتِي مَوْلَى لَهُ فَيَسْأَلُهُ مِنْ فَضْلٍ عِنْدَهُ فَيَمْنَعُهُ إِلَّا جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ شُجَاعًا يَنْهَشُهُ قَبْلَ الْقَضَاءِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Haydah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever goes to his relative and asks him for something that is more than his need, but he does not give it to him, then on the Day of Resurrection a snake will be brought for that owner, which will be shaking its tongue; this (snake) will be the surplus wealth of his, which he did not give to the one who asked. In another narration, the words are: If a relative asks his relative for something surplus and he does not give it to him, then Allah Almighty will turn such wealth into a snake for him, which will keep biting him on the Day of Resurrection until the judgment is completed.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: However, the situation is such that the first priority of wealthy people is to distance themselves from their poor relatives; to achieve this objective, they even avoid giving them zakat, whereas the demand of this blessed hadith is that one should place trust in Allah and fulfill the need of the needy relative.
