English translation
1403. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “Whoever is made wealthy by Allāh and does not pay the Zakât of his wealth, then on the Day of Resurrection his wealth will be made like a bald-headed poisonous male snake with two black spots over the eyes (or two poisonous glands in its mouth)(1). The snake will encircle his neck and bite his cheeks and say, ‘I am your wealth, I am your treasure.’” Then the Prophet ﷺ recited the holy Verses: “Let not those who covetously withhold...” (to the end of the Verse). (V.3:180).
