Hadith 990

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، قَالَ : انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي ظِلِّ الْكَعْبَةِ ، فَلَمَّا رَآنِي ، قَالَ : " هُمُ الْأَخْسَرُونَ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ " ، قَالَ : فَجِئْتُ حَتَّى جَلَسْتُ فَلَمْ أَتَقَارَّ أَنْ قُمْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي ، مَنْ هُمْ ؟ ، قَالَ : " هُمُ الْأَكْثَرُونَ أَمْوَالًا ، إِلَّا مَنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا مِنْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ ، وَقَلِيلٌ مَا هُمْ مَا مِنْ صَاحِبِ إِبِلٍ وَلَا بَقَرٍ وَلَا غَنَمٍ ، لَا يُؤَدِّي زَكَاتَهَا إِلَّا جَاءَتْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، أَعْظَمَ مَا كَانَتْ وَأَسْمَنَهُ ، تَنْطَحُهُ بِقُرُونِهَا وَتَطَؤُهُ بِأَظْلَافِهَا ، كُلَّمَا نَفِدَتْ أُخْرَاهَا ، عَادَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُولَاهَا ، حَتَّى يُقْضَى بَيْنَ النَّاسِ " ،
Abu Dharr (RA) reported: I went to the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) and he was sitting under the shade of the Ka’bah. As he saw me he said: By the Lord of the Ka’bah, they are the losers. I came there till I sat and I could not stay (longer) and (then) stood up. I said: Messenger of Allah, let my father be ransom for you, who are they (the losers)? He said: They are those having a huge amount of wealth except so and so and (those who spend their wealth generously on them whom they find in front of them, behind them and on their right side and on their left side) and they are a few. And no owner of camels, or cattle or goat and sheep, who does not pay Zakat (would be spared punishment) but these (camels, cattle, goats and sheep) would come on the Day of Resurrection wearing more flesh and would gore him with their horns and trample them with their hooves. And when the last one would pass away, the first one would return (to trample him) till judgment would be pronounced among people.

وحَدَّثَنَاه أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ الْمَعْرُورِ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، قَالَ : انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي ظِلِّ الْكَعْبَةِ ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ وَكِيعٍ ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ رَجُلٌ يَمُوتُ ، فَيَدَعُ إِبِلًا أَوْ بَقَرًا أَوْ غَنَمًا لَمْ يُؤَدِّ زَكَاتَهَا " .
Abu Dbarr reported: I went to the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) and he was sitting under the shade of the Ka’bah, and the rest of the hadith it the same but for this that he (the Holy Prophet) said: "By Allah, in Whose hand is my life, no person on earth who dies and leaves behind camels, or cattle or goat and sheep, and does not pay Zakat (would be spared the punishment)."

Hadith Commentary:

Benefits and Issues:
It is a strong and religious obligation (fard) upon the wealthy that they should actively participate in religious works and, on occasions of collective and national interests, contribute generously according to their means. Otherwise, they will face failure and loss in both this world and the Hereafter. Moreover, even in this world, they will become targets of people's hatred and anger.

Tirmidhi — Hadith 617
´Abu Dharr narrated:` "I came to the Messenger of Allah while he was sitting in the shade of the Ka'bah." He said: "He saw me approaching and he said: 'They are lost on the Day of Judgment! By the Lord of the Ka'bah!'" He said: "I said t myself: Woe is me! Perhaps something has been revealed about me!'" He said: "So I said: 'Who are they, and may my father and mother be ransomed for you.' So the Messenger of Allah said: 'They are those who have much, except for who says like this, and this, and this and motioned with his hand to his front, and t his right, and to his left.' Then he said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! No man will die, leaving a camel or a cow that he did not pay Zakat on, except that it will come on the Day of Judgment larger and fatter than it was, they will tread him under their hooves and butt him with their horns, all of them; such that when the last of them has had a turn, the first returns to him, until he is judged before the people.'"
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
English Commentary:
1:
Zakat is the third pillar among the five fundamental pillars of Islam.
Its literal meaning is "increase" and "growth."
It is called zakat because it increases and augments the wealth of the one who gives it.
And according to another opinion, its meaning is "to purify," and it is called zakat because it purifies the wealth and cleanses the owner of the wealth from sins.
There is a difference of opinion among the scholars regarding the time of its obligation.
Most scholars hold the view that it was made obligatory in 2 AH, while the investigating scholars believe that it was actually made obligatory in Makkah itself, but its detailed rulings were revealed in Madinah in 2 AH.

2:
Either the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was speaking to an angel,
or a thought occurred to him, so he said: ((هُمْ الْأَخْسَرُونَ)) ("They are the greatest losers").

3:
This punishment will occur in the realm of Hashr (the Gathering),
before the reckoning and accounting.

4:
That is, the process of trampling and goring will continue uninterrupted.

5:
Its narration has been recorded by Sa'id ibn Mansur,
al-Bayhaqi,
al-Khatib, and Ibn Najjar,
but the narration is fabricated; in it is a narrator, Muhammad ibn Sa'id al-Burami, who is a liar,
he used to fabricate hadiths.

Nasai — Hadith 2442
´It was narrated that Abu Dharr said:` "I come to the Prophet while he was sitting in the shade of the Ka'bah. When he saw me coming he said: 'They are the losers, by the Lord of the Ka'bah!' I said: 'what's happening? Perhaps something has been revealed concerning me.' I said: 'Who are they, may my father said mother be ransomed for you?' He said: "those who have a lot of wealth, except one who does like this, and like this, and like this,' (motioning) in front of him, and to his right, and to his left. Then he said: 'By the One in Whose hand is my soul, no man dies leaving camels, or cattle, or sheep on which he did not pay the Zakah, but they will come on the Day of Resurrection as big and fat as they ever were, trampling him with their hooves and goring him with their horns. Every time the last of them runs over him, the first of them will come back, until judgment is passed among the people."'
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) "Ahead, to the right, and to the left." That is, he spent in every necessary cause, whether it was apart from the obligatory zakat (alms) or not.

(2) On the Day of Resurrection, not only humans but every living being will be raised.

Ibn Majah — Hadith 1785
´Abu Dharr narrated that:` the Messenger of Allah said: “There is no now owner of camels, sheeps or cattle who does not pay Zakat on them, but they will come on the Day of Resurrection as big and as fat as they ever were, butting him with their horns and trampling him with their hooves. Every time the of them has passed, the first of them will come back to him, until judgment is passed upon the people.”
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Not giving zakat is a very grave sin.

➋ Zakat is also obligatory on animals, the details of which will be discussed in the following chapters.

➌ Those who commit major sins will also receive punishment for their sins in the plain of resurrection (Mahshar).

➍ In some cases, it is possible that this punishment in the Hereafter (Mahshar) alone will suffice for the person, and he will not have to endure the punishment of Hell. In one narration, these words are mentioned:
"(He will continue to receive this punishment) on the Day whose length is fifty thousand years, until the people’s judgment is completed, then he will be shown the path to either Paradise or Hell." (Sahih Muslim, Book of Zakat, Chapter: The Sin of One Who Withholds Zakat, Hadith: 987)
