Hadith 2458

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنِ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا مِنْ صَاحِبِ إِبِلٍ وَلَا بَقَرٍ وَلَا غَنَمٍ لَا يُؤَدِّي زَكَاتَهَا ، إِلَّا جَاءَتْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْظَمَ مَا كَانَتْ ، وَأَسْمَنَهُ تَنْطَحُهُ بِقُرُونِهَا ، وَتَطَؤُهُ بِأَخْفَافِهَا كُلَّمَا نَفِدَتْ أُخْرَاهَا أَعَادَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُولَاهَا ، حَتَّى يُقْضَى بَيْنَ النَّاسِ " .
´It was narrated that Abu Dharr said:` "The Messenger of Allah said: There is no owner of camels, cattle or sheep who does not give Zakah on them, but they will come on the Day of Resurrection as big and fast as they ever were, and will gore him with their horns and trample him with their hooves. Every time the last of them has run over him the first of them will come back to him, until judgment is passed among the people."

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.

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.

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.

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)
