English translation
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."
