Hadith 2443

أَخْبَرَنَا مُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ أَبِي رَاشِدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ لَهُ مَالٌ لَا يُؤَدِّي حَقَّ مَالِهِ ، إِلَّا جُعِلَ لَهُ طَوْقًا فِي عُنُقِهِ شُجَاعٌ أَقْرَعُ وَهُوَ يَفِرُّ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ يَتْبَعُهُ " ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ مِصْدَاقَهُ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : وَلا يَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ يَبْخَلُونَ بِمَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ هُوَ خَيْرًا لَهُمْ بَلْ هُوَ شَرٌّ لَهُمْ سَيُطَوَّقُونَ مَا بَخِلُوا بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ سورة آل عمران آية 180 " .
´It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:` "The Messenger of Allah said: 'There is no man who has wealth and does not pay the dues of his wealth, but a baldheaded Shuja'a will be made to encircle his neck, and he will run away from the Book of Allah: 'And let not those who covetously withhold of that which Allah has bestowed on them of His Bounty (wealth)' think that it is good for them (and so they do not pay the obligatory Zakah). Nay, it will be worse for them; the things which they covetously withheld, shall be tied toothier necks like a collar on the Day of Resurrection."'

Explanation & Benefits

Urdu footnote:
"Bald snake." There is no hair on the body of a snake in the first place, therefore, what is meant by "bald" is that due to the abundance of venom or the length of its life, even the skin on its head would have peeled off. (al-Nihayah by Ibn al-Athir)

Explanation:
1:
“Those whom Allah has given something out of His bounty should not consider their miserliness in it to be better for themselves; rather, it is extremely worse for them.” ()

2:
“Soon, on the Day of Resurrection, they will have collars made of that which they were miserly with placed around their necks.” ()

Benefits and Issues:

➊ When wealth reaches the nisab (minimum threshold), its zakat becomes obligatory.

➋ Criminals will be punished even before being cast into Hell on the Day of Resurrection.

➌ The bald snake refers to an extremely venomous snake whose head is white.

➍ If any worldly benefit is perceived in an act that is contrary to the Shariah, attention should be paid to its harm in the Hereafter, so that the worldly benefit appears insignificant and acting upon the Shariah becomes easy.

➎ The statements of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) are themselves explanations of the Noble Qur’an; therefore, sometimes the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would recite verses from the Qur’an and narrate hadiths along with his blessed statements, and their translation should also be presented.

➏ The blessing found in this is not attained by merely sufficing with the stories of the elders.

Benefit:
The wealth that has reached the threshold (nisab) for zakat, it is obligatory to pay its zakat; otherwise, there is a painful punishment. To act stingily in fulfilling the obligations is prohibited; rather, this stinginess will become a cause of humiliation on the Day of Resurrection. The one who, due to love of wealth, does not pay zakat, has made a mistake in understanding, because this is not wealth—in fact, it is a snake that will be placed around his neck on the Day of Resurrection, astaghfirullah. Therefore, one should not be negligent in paying zakat; rather, it should be paid in full, on time, and with happiness.
