Hadith 185
۞
Hadith.1587 - Muhammad ibn Muslim reported from Abu Ja’far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) who said
"There is no servant who withholds any part of the Zakat of his wealth except that Allah (swt) will turn it on the Day of Resurrection into a snake of fire, coiled around his neck, biting into his flesh until the reckoning is complete. 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), referring to what they withheld from Zakat."
1587 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مَنَعَ مِنْ زَكَاةِ مَالِهِ شَيْئاً إِلاَّ جَعَلَ اَللَّهُ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ ثُعْبَاناً مِنْ نَارٍ مُطَوَّقاً فِي عُنُقِهِ يَنْهَشُ مِنْ لَحْمِهِ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنَ اَلْحِسَابِ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ « سَيُطَوَّقُونَ مٰا بَخِلُوا بِهِ يَوْمَ اَلْقِيٰامَةِ » يَعْنِي مَا بَخِلُوا بِهِ مِنَ اَلزَّكَاةِ ».
