اُردوEn
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لَا يَمْنَعُ عَبْدٌ زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ إِلَّا جُعِلَ شُجَاعٌ أَقْرَعُ يَتْبَعُهُ يَفِرُّ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ يَتْبَعُهُ، فَيَقُولُ: أَنَا كَنْزُكَ))، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مِصْدَاقَهُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {سَيُطَوَّقُونَ مَا بَخِلُوا بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ}، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ، مَرَّةً يُطَوَّقُهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever does not pay the zakat of his wealth, on the Day of Resurrection his wealth will be turned into a bald snake, and it will pursue its owner. He will run away from it to escape, but the snake will keep chasing him, saying: I am your treasure. Then Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) recited the verse from the Book of Allah as the confirmation of this hadith: {سَیُطَوَّقُوْنَ مَا بَخِلُوْا بِہِ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَۃِ۔} (Surah Aal-e-Imran, 180) meaning: Those who were miserly will soon have it hung as a collar around their necks on the Day of Resurrection. Imam Sufyan once said: It will be hung as a collar around their necks.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: By miserliness is meant the non-payment of zakat, as is understood from the preceding hadith.
