Hadith 7756

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ فَلَمْ يُؤَدِّ حَقَّهُ ، جُعِلَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُجَاعٌ أَقْرَعُ ، لَهُ زَبِيبَتَانِ ، يَتْبَعُهُ حَتَّى يَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي فِيهِ ، فَلَا يَزَالُ يَقْضِمُهَا حَتَّى يُقْضَى بَيْنَ الْعِبَادِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever possesses wealth and does not pay its due right, on the Day of Resurrection that wealth will be turned into a bald snake with two fangs in its mouth, and it will pursue its owner until it takes his hand into its mouth and begins to chew it. This will continue until judgment begins among the people.
