I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was sitting in the shade of the Kaabah. When he saw me approaching, he said, "By the Lord of the Kaabah, they are the greatest losers on the Day of Resurrection."I said to myself, "What is wrong with me? Perhaps something has been revealed concerning me."Then I asked, "Who are they, may my father and mother be ransomed for you?"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "They are those who possess the most wealth, except for the one who gives like this, and like this, and like this," scattering his hands in front of him, to his right, and to his left. Then he said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, no man dies leaving behind camels or cattle on which he did not pay zakat except that they will come to him on the Day of Resurrection larger and fatter than they ever were, trampling him with their hooves and goring him with their horns. Each time the last of them passes over him, the first returns again, until judgment is passed among the people."
حدثنا هناد بن السري التميمي الكوفي حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن المعرور بن سويد
جئت إلى رسول الله ﷺ وهو جالس في ظل الكعبة قال فرآني مقبلا فقال هم الأخسرون ورب الكعبة يوم القيامة قال فقلت ما لي لعله أنزل في شيء قال قلت من هم فداك أبي وأمي فقال رسول الله ﷺ هم الأكثرون إلا من قال هكذا وهكذا وهكذا فحثا بين يديه وعن يمينه وعن شماله ثم قال والذي نفسي بيده لا يموت رجل فيدع إبلا أو بقرا لم يؤد زكاتها إلا جاءته يوم القيامة أعظم ما كانت وأسمنه تطؤه بأخفافها وتنطحه بقرونها كلما نفدت أخراها عادت عليه أولاها حتى يقضى بين الناس
Agreed upon [by Bukhari and Muslim]. Muslim narrated it in the chapter on the severity of punishment for one who does not pay zakat, no. 990, from the hadith of Abu Muawiya al-Darir, and Bukhari, no. 1460, from the hadith of Amash with the same wording.There are also narrations on this topic from Abu Hurairah [Bukhari, no. 1402, and Muslim, no. 987], and Ali bin Abu Talib, [reported by] Khatib in Tarikh Baghdad, 5/308–309, though its chain is fabricated, and Qabisa bin Hulb from his father [Ahmad, 5/227], and Jabir bin Abdullah [Muslim, no. 988], and Abdullah bin Masud [to come, no. 3012].The report of Dahhak bin Muzahim has a daif chain, since Thawri narrated it with an "an" formula without specifying direct transmission.
