1784. It was narrated from 'Abdullâh bin Mas'ud that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "There is no one who does not pay Zakât on his wealth, but a bald-headed snake[1] will be made to appear to him on the Day of Resurrection, until it
encircles his neck.” Then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ recited the following Verse to us confirming that from the Book of Allâh the Most High: “And let not those who covetously withhold of that which Allâh has bestowed on them of His Bounty (wealth) think that it is good for them.”[1]

Commentary
A sinful person will be inflicted punishment on the Day of Judgement before entering Hell.
If there is a benefit in a worldly matter which is contrary to the Shari'ah, then one should reflect upon the loss of the Hereafter, so that the worldly benefit seems despicable, and due to this reflection, practising the Shari'ah becomes easier.
