(مَالٌ لَمْ تُؤْدَ زَكَاتُهُ يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَيَّةً صَلْعَاءَ)
(The wealth whose zakat is not paid will come on the Day of Judgment as a bald snake)
Hadith 1791
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَكُونُ كَنْزُ أَحَدِكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُجَاعًا أَقْرَعَ يَفِرُّ مِنْهُ صَاحِبُهُ وَهُوَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَتَّى يُلْقِمَهُ أَصَابِعه» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد
He reported God’s messenger as saying, “The treasure of one of you on the day of resurrection will be a large bald snake from which he will flee, but it will keep following after him till he gives it his fingers to eat." Ahmad transmitted it.
