Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A Bedouin asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about migration. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Woe to you, the matter of migration is very severe. Do you have camels? He replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Do you give their zakat? He replied: Yes! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if you perform deeds across the seas, Allah Almighty will not leave out anything from your deeds (i.e., He will reward you for everything).

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The worst thing in a man is that miserliness which makes him sorrowful, and that cowardice which makes him lose his senses."

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The dust raised in the way of Allah and the smoke of Hell cannot be combined in a servant, and miserliness and faith can never be combined in a servant's heart."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The one who consumes usury, the one who gives it, the one who writes it down, its two witnesses when they do this act, the woman who tattoos and the woman who gets tattooed for beauty, the one who is dishonest in zakat, and the Bedouin who becomes an apostate after migration—all these will be accursed on the Day of Resurrection by the tongue of Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever possesses wealth and does not pay its zakat, Allah Almighty will gather his wealth for him on the Day of Resurrection and it will be heated in the fire of Hell and made into plates, with which his forehead and back will be branded. This will continue until Allah decides among His servants on a day whose length is fifty thousand years according to your reckoning. Then after that, the person will see his path, either towards Paradise or towards Hell. And whoever does not pay the zakat of his camels, he will be thrown in an open field before the camels, and the camels will be fatter than before. The camels will trample over him, and when the last one passes over him, the first will return to him, and this will continue until Allah decides among His servants on a day whose length is fifty thousand years. Then the person will see his path, either towards Paradise or towards Hell. Whoever owns goats and does not pay their zakat, he will be thrown in an open field before those goats, and the goats will be fatter than before. They will trample him with their hooves and gore him with their horns. There will be no goat among them with crooked horns or without horns. When the last of them passes over him, the first will return to him, and this will continue until Allah decides among His servants on a day whose length is fifty thousand years. Then the person will see his path, either towards Paradise or towards Hell."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That wealth (on the Day of Resurrection) will come, for which zakat was not paid, so (from it) the camels will trample their owner with their feet, cows and goats will come and trample their owner with their feet and strike with their horns. The treasure will come in the form of a bald-headed snake and will chase its owner; the owner will run away from it, then it will appear before him, then he will run away from it, so he will say, 'What do I have to do with you?' The treasure will say, 'I am your treasure, I am your treasure.' Then its owner will stretch out his hand towards it, and it will bite his hand."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates: I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever owns camels and does not do good regarding them (i.e., does not pay their zakat), then on the Day of Resurrection, they will come healthier than before. That person will be made to sit in an open field before them, and they will trample him with their legs and feet. Whoever owns cows (and does not pay their zakat), then those cows will come on the Day of Resurrection healthier than before. That person will be made to sit in an open field before them, and they will gore him with their horns and trample him with their feet. There will not be any cow among them without horns or with broken horns. Whoever owns a treasure (and does not pay its zakat), then that treasure will come on the Day of Resurrection in the form of a bald-headed snake and will open its mouth and chase after him. When it comes near him, he will try to run away from it, but his Lord will call out to him: 'This is your treasure, which you kept stored up.' When that person sees that he cannot escape from it, he will stretch out his hand towards its mouth, and the snake will chew his hand just as a camel chews something."

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Him in Whose Hand is my soul, whoever dies leaving behind camels, cows, or goats for which he did not pay zakat, then on the Day of Resurrection they will be resurrected in a form larger and heavier than before. They will gore him with their horns and trample him with their hooves. When the last of them passes by, the first will return, and this will continue until Allah Almighty judges between the people."

Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever leaves behind a treasure after him, on the Day of Resurrection that treasure will be turned into a bald snake, which will have two zabib (meaning teeth protruding from the sides or two black spots above the eyes). It will follow that person, and the person will ask, 'Who are you?' It will say, 'I am your treasure which you left behind.' Then that treasure will keep following him until the person stretches out his hand towards it, and the treasure will chew his hand and then swallow his entire being."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): "The treasure of one of you will come on the Day of Resurrection in the form of a bald snake. It will follow its owner, and the owner will try to escape from it, but it will keep following him, until he puts his fingers into its mouth."
