Hadith 181
۞
Hadith.1583 Hariz reported from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that he said:
"Anyone who possesses wealth in gold or silver and withholds the Zakat of his wealth will be confined by Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, on the Day of Resurrection in a flat, open plain. A bald snake will be unleashed upon him, chasing him as he attempts to flee. When he realizes he cannot escape, the snake will seize his hand and bite it like a radish is bitten, and then it will coil around his neck. This is the meaning of Allah’s (swt) statement: 'They will be encircled by what they withheld on the Day of Resurrection' (Surah Ali ‘Imran 3:180).
And anyone who possesses wealth in the form of camels, cows, or sheep and withholds the Zakat of his wealth will be confined by Allah (swt), the Almighty, on the Day of Resurrection in a flat, open plain. Every animal with a hoof will trample upon him with its hooves, and every animal with fangs will bite him with its fangs.
And anyone who possesses wealth in the form of palm trees, grapevines, or crops and withholds its Zakat, Allah (swt), the Exalted, will place upon him the burden of the yield of his land, extending to the depth of seven earths, until the Day of Resurrection."
1583 - رَوَى حَرِيزٌ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَا مِنْ ذِي مَالٍ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ يَمْنَعُ زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ إِلاَّ حَبَسَهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ، يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ بِقَاعٍ قَرْقَرٍ وَ سَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِ شُجَاعاً أَقْرَعَ يُرِيدُهُ وَ هُوَ يَحِيدُ عَنْهُ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَنَّهُ لاَ يَتَخَلَّصُ مِنْهُ أَمْكَنَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَقَضِمَهَا كَمَا يُقْضَمُ اَلْفُجْلُ ثُمَّ يَصِيرُ طَوْقاً فِي عُنُقِهِ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ « سَيُطَوَّقُونَ مٰا بَخِلُوا بِهِ يَوْمَ اَلْقِيٰامَةِ »
وَ مَا مِنْ ذِي مَالٍ إِبِلٍ أَوْ بَقَرٍ أَوْ غَنَمٍ يَمْنَعُ زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ إِلاَّ حَبَسَهُ اَللَّهُ، يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ بِقَاعٍ قَرْقَرٍ يَطَؤُهُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ ظِلْفٍ بِظِلْفِهَا وَ يَنْهَشُهُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ نَابٍ بِنَابِهَا وَ مَا مِنْ ذِي مَالٍ نَخْلٍ أَوْ كَرْمٍ أَوْ زَرْعٍ يَمْنَعُ زَكَاتَهُ إِلاَّ طَوَّقَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى رَيْعَةَ أَرْضِهِ إِلَى سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ إِلَى يَوْمِ اَلْقِيَامَةِ ».
