2450. Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: (On the Day of Resurrection) camels will come to their owner in the best state of health that they ever had (in this world) and if he did not pay what was due on them, they will trample him with their hooves. Sheep will come to their owner in the best state of health that they ever had (in this world) and if he did not pay what was due on them, they will trample him with their cloven hooves and gore him with their horns. And among their rights are that they should be milked with water in front of them. I do not want any one of you to come on the Day of Resurrection with a groaning camel on his neck, saying, O Muḥammad, and I will say: I cannot do anything for you, I conveyed the message. I do not want any one of you to come on the Day of Resurrection with a bleating sheep on his neck, saying, "O Muḥammad," and I will say: "I cannot do anything for you, I conveyed the message." And on the Day of Resurrection the hoarded treasure of one of you will be a bald-headed Shujâ'a[1] from which its owner will flee, but it will chase him (saying), I am your hoarded treasure, and it will keep
(chasing him) until he gives it his finger to swallow.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
