1404. Narrated Khālid bin Aslam: We went out with 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا and a bedouin said (to 'Abdullāh), "Tell me about Allāh's Saying: "And those who hoard up gold and silver (Al-Kanz - money, gold, silver etc., the Zakāt of which has not been paid) and spend it not in the Way of Allāh (V.9:34)." Ibn 'Umar said, "Whoever hoarded them and did not pay the Zakāt thereof, then woe to him. But these holy Verses were revealed before the Verses of Zakāt. So when the Verses of Zakāt were revealed Allāh made Zakāt a purifier of the property."

1404 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ شَبِيبِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، فَقَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ: أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: {وَالَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالفِضَّةَ، وَلاَ يُنْفِقُونَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ} [التوبة: 34] قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: «مَنْ كَنَزَهَا، فَلَمْ يُؤَدِّ زَكَاتَهَا ، فَوَيْلٌ لَهُ، إِنَّمَا كَانَ هَذَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تُنْزَلَ الزَّكَاةُ، فَلَمَّا أُنْزِلَتْ جَعَلَهَا اللَّهُ طُهْرًا لِلْأَمْوَالِ»
