Bayhaqi 7225 — Reports of the threat against one who hoards wealth

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Any owner of treasure who does not pay its zakah, it will be heated in the fire of Hell and made into plates, and then his sides and his forehead will be branded with them, until Allah judges between His servants on a Day whose length, by your reckoning, is fifty thousand years. Then he will be shown his path, either to Paradise or to Hell. And any owner of camels who does not pay their zakah will be laid down on a level plain, and his camels whose zakah was not paid will be made to pass over him. Whenever the last of them passes, the first will be brought back again, until Allah Almighty judges between His servants on a Day whose length, by your reckoning, is fifty thousand years. Then he will be shown his path, either to Paradise or to Hell. And any owner of sheep who does not pay their zakah will be laid down on a level plain, and the sheep will trample him with their hooves and butt him with their horns; none of them will have twisted horns, nor will any be without horns. Whenever the last of them passes over him, the first will be brought back, until Allah judges between His servants on a Day whose length, by your reckoning, is fifty thousand years. Then he will be shown his path, either to Paradise or to Hell." Suhayl said: I do not remember whether he (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned cattle or not. They said: O Messenger of Allah, what about horses? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In the forelocks of horses there is goodness until the Day of Resurrection; Allah has tied good and blessing (to them) until the Day of Resurrection," or he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(Goodness) is tied to the forelocks of horses." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Horses are of three kinds: for one man they are a source of reward, for another a cover (screen), and upon another a burden. The one for whom it is a source of reward is the horse that a man dedicates in the way of Allah and keeps ready for it; nothing disappears into its belly but Allah Almighty records a reward for him in return. If he grazes it in a pasture, then for whatever it eats Allah Almighty records a reward for him; and if he waters it from a river, he has a reward for every drop that goes down into its belly, until he said: there is reward even in its urine and dung. And if it gallops over one or two hillocks, he has a reward for every step. As for the one for which it is a cover (shield), that is the horse a person keeps for adornment and dignity, yet he does not forget the right of Allah regarding its back and its belly, in hardship and ease. As for the one for which it is a burden, that is the horse he kept out of pride, arrogance, and showing off; that is the one that will be a burden for him." They said: Then what about donkeys, O Messenger of Allah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty has not revealed to me anything about them except this comprehensive verse: 'So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it.' [Surah al-Zalzalah: 7-8]."
Hafs bin Maysarah and Hisham bin Sa'd said that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: "Any owner of gold or silver who does not pay its due (zakah)," then he mentioned it, then the camels, then cattle and sheep as well.
