And the evidence that the hoarded treasure (al-kanz) is the wealth from which zakat is not paid, not the buried wealth from which zakat is paid.

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "Whoever does not pay the zakat of his wealth, then on the Day of Resurrection a snake will be made for him which will become a collar around his neck on the Day of Resurrection." Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse of the Qur'an in confirmation of this: «‏‏‏‏سَيُطَوَّقُونَ مَا بَخِلُوا بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» ‏‏‏‏ [ سورة آل عمران: 180 ] "The wealth in which they were miserly, it will be made into a collar for them on the Day of Resurrection."
