English translation

1563. It was reported from 'Amr bin Shu'āib, from his father, from his grandfather ('Abdullāh bin 'Amr), that a woman came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ with her daughter. Her daughter was wearing two thick gold bracelets on her arms. He asked her: "Do you give the Zakāt (due) on this?" She replied: "No." He said: "Would it please you that Allāh place them on you on the Day of Judgment as two bracelets of fire?" So she took them off and gave them to the Prophet ﷺ, and said: "They are (charity) to Allāh and His Messenger." (Hasan)

Arabic text

1563 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، وَحُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، الْمَعْنَى، أَنَّ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَهُمْ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَهَا ابْنَةٌ لَهَا، وَفِي يَدِ ابْنَتِهَا مَسَكَتَانِ غَلِيظَتَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: «أَتُعْطِينَ زَكَاةَ هَذَا؟»، قَالَتْ: لَا، قَالَ: «أَيَسُرُّكِ أَنْ يُسَوِّرَكِ اللَّهُ بِهِمَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ سِوَارَيْنِ مِنْ نَارٍ؟»، قَالَ: فَخَلَعَتْهُمَا، فَأَلْقَتْهُمَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالَتْ: هُمَا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلِرَسُولِهِ

  1. 1

    [1] Scholars differed over the meaning of buried treasure (Kanz); some said it refers to whatever wealth comes out of a mine or shaft or the like, and others said it only applies to riches buried before Islam, and found after Islam, in other words discovered treasure.

Commentary

Parents who have the charge of sons and daughters that possess wealth, should either pay Zakāh on their behalf themselves or make them pay.
