English translation
4565. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “Anyone whom Allāh has given wealth but he does not pay its Zakāt, then, on the Day of Resurrection, his wealth will be presented to him in the shape of a bald-headed poisonous male snake with two poisonous glands(1) in its mouth and it will encircle itself round his neck and bite him over his cheeks and say, ‘I am your wealth; I am your treasure.’” Then the Prophet ﷺ recited this (following) Divine Verse: “And let not those who covetously withhold of that which Allāh has bestowed on them of His Bounty ..." till the end of the Verse. (V.3:180). (See H. 1403)
