حَدَّثَنَا إسحاق بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ . ح وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَا مِنْ صَاحِبِ إِبِلٍ لَا يَفْعَلُ فِيهَا حَقَّهَا ، إِلَّا جَاءَتْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَكْثَرَ مَا كَانَتْ قَطُّ ، وَقَعَدَ لَهَا بِقَاعٍ قَرْقَرٍ تَسْتَنُّ عَلَيْهِ بِقَوَائِمِهَا وَأَخْفَافِهَا ، وَلَا صَاحِبِ بَقَرٍ لَا يَفْعَلُ فِيهَا حَقَّهَا ، إِلَّا جَاءَتْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَكْثَرَ مَا كَانَتْ ، وَقَعَدَ لَهَا بِقَاعٍ قَرْقَرٍ تَنْطَحُهُ بِقُرُونِهَا وَتَطَؤُهُ بِقَوَائِمِهَا ، وَلَا صَاحِبِ غَنَمٍ لَا يَفْعَلُ فِيهَا حَقَّهَا ، إِلَّا جَاءَتْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَكْثَرَ مَا كَانَتْ ، وَقَعَدَ لَهَا بِقَاعٍ قَرْقَرٍ تَنْطَحُهُ بِقُرُونِهَا وَتَطَؤُهُ بِأَظْلَافِهَا ، لَيْسَ فِيهَا جَمَّاءُ وَلَا مُنْكَسِرٌ قَرْنُهَا ، وَلَا صَاحِبِ كَنْزٍ لَا يَفْعَلُ فِيهِ حَقَّهُ ، إِلَّا جَاءَ كَنْزُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُجَاعًا أَقْرَعَ يَتْبَعُهُ فَاتِحًا فَاهُ ، فَإِذَا أَتَاهُ فَرَّ مِنْهُ ، فَيُنَادِيهِ خُذْ كَنْزَكَ الَّذِي خَبَأْتَهُ فَأَنَا عَنْهُ غَنِيٌّ ، فَإِذَا رَأَى أَنْ لَا بُدَّ مِنْهُ سَلَكَ يَدَهُ فِي فِيهِ ، فَيَقْضَمُهَا قَضْمَ الْفَحْلِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ : سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ يَقُولُ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ ، ثُمَّ سَأَلْنَا جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، وقَالَ أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ : سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَجُلٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا حَقُّ الْإِبِلِ ؟ ، قَالَ : " حَلَبُهَا عَلَى الْمَاءِ ، وَإِعَارَةُ دَلْوِهَا ، وَإِعَارَةُ فَحْلِهَا وَمَنِيحَتُهَا ، وَحَمْلٌ عَلَيْهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ " .
Jabir bin 'Abdullah al-Ansari reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The owner of a camel who does not pay what is due on it, would be punished in this way: that on the Day of Resurrection many more (along with his camel) would come and the owner would be made to sit on a soft sandy ground and they would trample him with their feet and hooves. And no owner of the cattle who does not pay what is due on them (would be spared the punishment) but on the Day of Resurrection, many more would come and he (the owner) would be made to sit on the soft sandy ground and would be gored by their horns and trampled under their feet. And no owner of the goats and sheep who does not pay what is due on them (would be spared of punishment) but many more would come on the Day of Resurrection and he (the owner) would be made to sit on a soft sandy ground and they would gore him with their horns and trample him under their hooves. And there would be more (among this flock of sheep and goat) without horns or with broken horns. And no owner of the treasure who does not pay its due but his treasure would come on the Day of Resurrection like a bald snake and would pursue him with its mouth open, and when it would come near he would run away from it, and he would be called thus: "Take your treasure which you concealed, for I do not need it." When he would find no way out he would put his hand in its mouth and it would gnaw it like a he-camel. Abu Zubair said: We heard Ubaid bin Umair saying this. We then asked Jabir bin 'Abdullah about this. And he also said like Ubaid bin Umair, Abu Zubair said: I heard 'Ubaid bin 'Umair saying: A man said: Messenger of Allah, what is due on camels? He said: Milking them near water, and lending of bucket (used for drawing water from it), or lending its male for mating with a she-camel and providing it as a ride for the sake of Allah.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَا مِنْ صَاحِبِ إِبِلٍ وَلَا بَقَرٍ وَلَا غَنَمٍ لَا يُؤَدِّي حَقَّهَا ، إِلَّا أُقْعِدَ لَهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِقَاعٍ قَرْقَرٍ ، تَطَؤُهُ ذَاتُ الظِّلْفِ بِظِلْفِهَا ، وَتَنْطَحُهُ ذَاتُ الْقَرْنِ بِقَرْنِهَا لَيْسَ فِيهَا يَوْمَئِذٍ جَمَّاءُ وَلَا مَكْسُورَةُ الْقَرْنِ ، قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا حَقُّهَا ؟ ، قَالَ : إِطْرَاقُ فَحْلِهَا ، وَإِعَارَةُ دَلْوِهَا وَمَنِيحَتُهَا ، وَحَلَبُهَا عَلَى الْمَاءِ ، وَحَمْلٌ عَلَيْهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، وَلَا مِنْ صَاحِبِ مَالٍ لَا يُؤَدِّي زَكَاتَهُ ، إِلَّا تَحَوَّلَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُجَاعًا أَقْرَعَ يَتْبَعُ صَاحِبَهُ حَيْثُمَا ذَهَبَ ، وَهُوَ يَفِرُّ مِنْهُ ، وَيُقَالُ : هَذَا مَالُكَ الَّذِي كُنْتَ تَبْخَلُ بِهِ ، فَإِذَا رَأَى أَنَّهُ لَا بُدَّ مِنْهُ ، أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي فِيهِ فَجَعَلَ يَقْضَمُهَا كَمَا يَقْضَمُ الْفَحْلُ " .
Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA) reported the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: No owner of camels or cattle or flock of sheep or goats who does not pay his due (would be spared punishment) but would be made to sit on the Day of Resurrection on a soft sandy ground and the hoofed animals would trample him with their hoofs and gore him with their horns. And none of them on that day would be without horns, or with broken horns. We said: Messenger of. Allab, but what is due on them? He said: Lending of the male (for use) and lending of the bucket (used for drawing water for them) and for mating and milking them near water and providing them as a ride for the sake of Allah. And no owner of the property who does not pay Zakat (would be spared punishment) but it (his property) would turn into a bald snake and would follow its owner wherever he would go, and he would run away from it, and it would be said to him: That is your property about which you were stingy. And when he would find no other way out he would thrust his hand in its mouth and it would gnaw it like a male camel.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
Jamā’:
A goat that does not have horns.
(2)
Shujā‘an aqra‘:
A snake whose head has become bald due to the intensity of its venom.
Or, a snake that stands upright on its tail and attacks both pedestrians and riders, and strikes with its fangs on the forehead.
(3)
Yaqḍimuhā qaḍm al-faḥl:
He will bite and chew his hand like a male camel.
There are two types of manīḥah:
In one, an animal, land, or house is given as a gift (hibah) to another.
In the second case, a she-camel, cow, goat, or other milk-giving animal is given only for a period of time for the purpose of drinking its milk, and then it is taken back.

Benefits and Issues:

From this hadith, it is understood that gold, silver, and wealth will not only be made into plates.
Rather, at times, it will be given the form of a bald snake, because the owner of the wealth sat upon it in the world like a snake.
Then that snake will pursue him.
And there will be no way for the owner of the wealth to escape from it.
And for his own protection, he will put his hand into its mouth, which it will chew like a male camel.

In this hadith, among the dispersed rights which are manifestations of mutual brotherhood, goodwill, and compassion,
a few have been specified in relation to camels.
To give their milk to the poor and needy, or to temporarily give a milk-giving animal to someone in need for drinking milk, to give a bucket to a needy person for drawing water, to temporarily give a bull for mating, or to provide a mount to a mujahid for riding.
