10. Zakāh (Prescribed Charity)
١٠۔ كِتَابُ الزَّكَاةِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Whoever is given wealth by Allah and does not give its due Zakah, it will be turned into a bald snake for him on the Day of Resurrection. It will be coiled around his neck and he will be held captive by its fangs. Then it will say, 'I am your treasure, I am your wealth.' Then, the verse will be recited to him: 'And do not think that those who are miserly regarding what Allah has granted them of His bounty, that it is better for them. Rather, it is worse for them. They will be encircled by what they were miserly with, on the Day of Resurrection.'"
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ آتَاهُ اللهُ مَالًا فَلَمْ يُؤَدِّ زَكَاتَهُ مُثِّلَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُجَاعًا أَقْرَعَ لَهُ زَبِيبَتَانِ يُطَوَّقُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ بِلِهْزِمَتَيْهِ يَعْنِي شِدْقَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَنَا مَالُكَ أَنَا كَنْزُكَ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ يَبْخَلُونَ بِمَا آتَاهُمُ اللهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ هُوَ خَيْرًا لَهُمْ بَلْ هُوَ شَرٌّ لَهُمْ سَيُطَوَّقُونَ مَا بَخِلُوا بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ}
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "No man who does not pay his Zakat will enter Paradise without being transformed into a malignant snake, pursuing him until it encircles his neck." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited to us, "{They will be encircled by what they have withheld on the Day of Resurrection}" (Quran 3:180).
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ لَا يُؤَدِّي زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ إِلَّا مُثِّلَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُجَاعًا أَقْرَعَ يَفِرُّ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ يَتْبَعُهُ حَتَّى يُطَوَّقَهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ {سَيُطَوَّقُونَ مَا بَخِلُوا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ}
No owner of the treasure who does not pay Zakat (would be spared) but (his hoards) would be heated in the Fire of Hell and these would be made into plates and with these his sides, his forehead would be cauterised till Allah would pronounce judgment among His servants during a day, the extent of which would be fifty thousand years. He would then see his path, leading either to Paradise or to Hell. And no owner of the camels who does not pay Zakat (would be spared) but a soft sandy plain would be set for him and they (the camels) would be made to pass over him till the last of them would be made to return till Allah would pronounce judgment among His servants during a day the extent of which would be fifty thousand years. He would then see his path leading him to Paradise or leading him to Hell. And no owner of the (cattle and) goats who does not pay Zakat (would be spared) but a soft sandy plain would be set for him, he would find none of them missing, with twisted horns, without horns, or with broken horns, and they will gore him with their horns and trample him with their hoofs and they would be made to pass over him till the last of them would be made to return till Allah would pronounce judgment among His servants, during a day the extent of which would be fifty thousand years, and he would see the paths leading to Paradise or to Hell. Suhail said: I do not know whether he made mention of the cows. They said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ, what about the horses? He said: The horses have goodness in their foreheads (or he said) or goodness is ingrained in the foreheads of the horses (Suhail said: I am in doubt as to what was actually said) up till the Day of judgement. The horses are of three kinds. They are a source of reward to a person, they are a covering to a person, and they are a burden to a person. As for those which bring reward is that a person would get reward who rears them for the sake of Allah and trains them for Him, and nothing disappears in their stomachs but Allah would record for him a good deed. And if they were to graze in the meadow, they would eat nothing but Allah would record for him a reward. And if they were to drink water from the canal, with every drop that, would disappear in their stomachs there would be reward (for the owner). He went on describing till a reward was mentioned for their urine and dung. And if they pranced a course or two, there would be recorded a reward for every pace that they covered. As for one for whom they are a covering, he is the man who rears them for honour and dignity but does not forget the right of their backs and their stomachs, in plenty and adversity, As regards one for whom they are a burden, he is that who rears them for vainglory and showing off to the people; for him they are, the burden. They said: Messenger of Allah, what about asses? He said: Allah has not revealed to me anything in regards to it except this one comprehensive verse:" He who does an atom's weight of good will see it, and he who does an atom's weight of evil will see it" (xcix. 7).

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah through another chain of transmitters. (Using translation from Muslim 2775b)
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The first three to enter Paradise will be a martyr, a person who fulfilled the rights of Allah and advised his master, and a poor person who stayed chaste despite having dependents. As for the first three to enter Hell, they will be a ruler who oppressed others, a wealthy person who did not give the rightful share of his wealth, and a poor person who committed adultery."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عُرِضَ عَلَيَّ أَوَّلُ ثَلَاثَةٍ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَوَّلُ ثَلَاثَةٍ يَدْخُلُونَ النَّارَ فَأَمَّا أَوَّلُ ثَلَاثَةٍ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ فَالشَّهِيدُ وَعَبْدٌ أَدَّى حَقَّ اللهِ وَنَصَحَ لِسَيِّدِهِ وَفَقِيرٌ مُتَعَفِّفٌ ذُو عِيَالٍ وَأَمَّا أَوَّلُ ثَلَاثَةٍ يَدْخُلُونَ النَّارَ فَسُلْطَانٌ مُسَلَّطٌ وَذُو ثَرْوَةٍ مِنَ الْمَالِ لَمْ يُعْطِ حَقَّ مَالِهِ وَفَقِيرٌ فَجُورٌ
[Machine] Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said concerning the verse, "He is Unmindful of the Orphan" [Surah Al-Ma'un, 7]: "It refers to the obligatory Zakat (charity)." This statement has also been narrated from Ibn Umar and Anas ibn Malik, and it is one of the two narrations from Ibn Abbas. It is the view of Abu Al-A'liyah, Al-Hasan, and Mujahid.
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ فِي قَوْلِهِ {الْمَاعُونُ} [الماعون 7] قَالَ الزَّكَاةُ الْمَفْرُوضَةُ وَهَذَا الْقَوْلُ أَيْضًا رُوِّينَاهُ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَهِيَ إِحْدَى الرِّوَايَتَيْنِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ وَالْحَسَنِ وَمُجَاهِدٍ
