Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "Whoever does not pay the zakat of his wealth, then on the Day of Resurrection a snake will be made for him which will become a collar around his neck on the Day of Resurrection." Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse of the Qur'an in confirmation of this: « سَيُطَوَّقُونَمَابَخِلُوابِهِيَوْمَالْقِيَامَةِ »[ سورة آل عمران : 180 ] "The wealth in which they were miserly, it will be made into a collar for them on the Day of Resurrection."
