[ ص: 1267 ] 1774 - وعنه قال: قال رسول - صلى الله عليه وسلم -:"من آتاه الله مالا فلم يؤد زكاته  مثل له ماله يوم القيامة شجاعا اقرع له زبيبتان يطوقه يوم القيامة، ثم ياخذ بلهزمتيه يعني شدقيه ثم يقول انا مالك، انا كنزك"ثم تلا ولا يحسبن الذين يبخلون الآية. رواه البخاري.
He reported God s messenger as saying,“If God gives anyone property and he does not pay the zakat on it, his property will be made to appear to him on the day of resurrection as a large bald snake with black spots over its eyes. It will be put round his neck on the day of resurrection, then seize his lihzamatani, i.e. his jaws, then say, ‘I am your property; I am your treasure’.”He then recited,“Let not those who are niggardly think…”* Bukhari transmitted it. * Quran 3:180
