Hadith 1940
۞
19. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Muhammad ibn Khalid from Khalaf ibn Hammad from Hariz who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Any wealthy person owning gold and silver who refuses to pay zakat, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, on the Day of Judgment will keep him in captivity in a flat land. He (Allah) will send a bald serpent who will chase him and he will flee until he finds it impossible to escape. He (the person) will then allow the serpent to get his hand and it will bite it like a turnip. It will then curl around his neck. This is referred to in the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, “. . . whatever they are avaricious about will be tied to their necks on the Day of Judgment . . .” (3:180) Every owner of camels, sheep or cows who refuses to pay zakat will be held in Allah’s captivity on the Day of Judgment, in a flat land where every hooved-animal will walk on him and every sharp-toothed animal will bite him. Every owner of palm trees, vineyards or plantation who refuses to pay zakat will be made by Allah to have that land up to seven levels tied around his neck up to the Day of Judgment.’”

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) مَا مِنْ ذِي مَالٍ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ يَمْنَعُ زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ إِلاَّ حَبَسَهُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِقَاعٍ قَرْقَرٍ وَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِ شُجَاعاً أَقْرَعَ يُرِيدُهُ وَهُوَ يَحِيدُ عَنْهُ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَنَّهُ لاَ مَخْلَصَ لَهُ مِنْهُ أَمْكَنَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَقَضِمَهَا كَمَا يُقْضَمُ الْفُجْلُ ثُمَّ يَصِيرُ طَوْقاً فِي عُنُقِهِ وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ سَيُطَوَّقُونَ ما بَخِلُوا بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ وَمَا مِنْ ذِي مَالٍ إِبِلٍ أَوْ غَنَمٍ أَوْ بَقَرٍ يَمْنَعُ زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ إِلاَّ حَبَسَهُ الله يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِقَاعٍ قَرْقَرٍ يَطَؤُهُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ ظِلْفٍ بِظِلْفِهَا وَيَنْهَشُهُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ نَابٍ بِنَابِهَا وَمَا مِنْ ذِي مَالٍ نَخْلٍ أَوْ كَرْمٍ أَوْ زَرْعٍ يَمْنَعُ زَكَاتَهَا إِلاَّ طَوَّقَهُ الله رَيْعَةَ أَرْضِهِ إِلَى سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ.
