5139. It was narrated from Bahz bin Ḥakīm, from his father, that his grandfather said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, to whom should I show kindness?' He said: 'Your mother, then your mother, then your mother, then your father, then the next closest and the next closest.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'No man asks his freed slave for the surplus of his wealth
and he refuses, but the surplus that he withheld will be called for him on the Day of Resurrection, in the form of a Aqra' serpent.”) (Hasan)
Abū Dāwūd said: The Aqra' is the one whose hair has gone due to its poison.
