*Punishments for NOT Paying Zakat*
Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi'Allahu Anhu) ---
PROPHET~(Sall Allahu `Alaihi wa Sallam) said ---
'Anyone whom Allah has given wealth
but he does not pay its 'Zakat',
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 in its mouth and with two black spots over the eyes ,
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 (SallAllahu `Alaihi wa Sallam) recited this Divine Verse ---
'And let not those who covetously withhold of the
gifts which Allah hath given them of His Grace,
think that it is good for them ,
Nay, it will be the worse for them !
soon shall the things which they covetously
withheld, will be tied to their necks like a twisted
collar on the Day of Judgment !
to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is well-acquainted
with all that ye do.'
{Source~Qur`an~Surat 'Āli `Imrān (Family of Imran) # 3~ A # 180}
{Source: of Hadith ~Sahih Bukhari~ Book #60, Hadith #88 & #24,& Hadith #486}
Narrated Abu Dhar (Radi'Allahu anhu) ---
Once I went to the Prophet ---
and he (Sall'Allahu `Alaihi wa Sallam) said---
"By Allah in Whose Hands my Life is
(or probably said)
'By Allah, except Whom none has the right to be worshiped whoever had camels or cows or sheep
and did not pay their 'Zakat',
those animals will be brought on the Day
of Resurrection
far bigger and fatter than before and they will tread him under their hooves,
and will butt him with their horns,
and (those animals will come in circle)
when the last does its turn, the first will start
again, and this punishment will go on
till Allah has finished the judgments among
the people.'
{Source: Sahih Bukhari~ Book #24, Hadith #539)
Abu Huraira (Radi'Allahu anhu) reported ---
PROPHET (SallAllahu `Alaihi wa Sallam) as saying ---
' If any owner of gold or silver does not pay what
is due on him, when the Day of Resurrection
would come,
plates of fire would be beaten out for him,
these would then be heated in the fire of Hell
and his sides, his forehead and his back
would be cauterized with them.
whenever these cool down,
(the process is) repeated during a day
the extent of which would be fifty thousand years,
until judgment is pronounced among servants,
and he sees whether his path is to take him to
Paradise or to Hell.
It was said--- 'Messenger of Allah,
what about the camel ?
he (SallAllahu `Alaihi wa Sallam) said...
If any owner of the camel does not pay what is due on him,
and of his due in that (camel) is also to milk it on the day when it comes down to water.
when the Day of Resurrection comes
a soft sandy plain would be set for him,
as extensive as possible, (he will find) that not a single
young one is missing, and they will trample him
with their hoofs and bite him with their mouths.
as often as the first of them passes him,
the last of them would be made to return during a day,
the extent of which would be fifty thousand years,
until judgment is pronounced among servants and he sees
whether his path is to take him to Paradise or to Hell.
It was again asked,
'what about cows (cattle) and sheep'?
PROPHET ~(SallAllahu `Alaihi wa Sallam) said...
If any owner of the cattle and sheep does not pay what is due on them, when the Day of Resurrection comes a soft sandy plain would be spread for them,
he will find none of them missing, with twisted horns, without horns or with
a broken horn, and they will gore him with their horns and trample him with their hoofs. As often as the first of them passes him the last of them would be made to return to him during a day the extent
of which would be fifty thousand years ! until judgment would be pronounced among the servants, and he would be shown his path-
leading him to Paradise or to Hell..."
