Hadith 36

(The book) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbaar’ – My father, from Ali, from his father, from Muhammad Al Barqy, from Khalaf Bin Hammad, from Hareyz who said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘There is none from a possessor of gold or silver preventing Zakat of his wealth except Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Reckon him on the Day of Qiyamah in a plain spot and Cause a bald serpent to prevail upon him, intending him and he will turn away from it. When he sees that he cannot escape from it, he will take his hand and bite it just as the radish is bitten, then it would become a collar in his neck, and that is Words of the Mighty and Majestic: they would be collared with what they had been stingy with, on the Day of Qiyamah [3: 180]. And there is none from a possessor of wealth, either camels or cows or sheep, preventing Zakat of his wealth except Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Reckon him on the Day of Qiyamah in a plain spot. Every hooved one will trample him with its hooves and every fanged one will bite him with its fang! And there is none from a possessor of wealth, either palm tree, or vineyard, or crops, preventing its Zakat except Allah-azwj will Collar him with his property up to seven lands, until the Day of Qiyamah! ’’[40]
