It was narrated from Jabir bin Abdullah that the Prophet (SAW) said: "There is no owner of camels, cattle or sheep who does not pay what he is obliged to with regard to them but he will made to sit for them on Day of Resurrection in a vast plain, and those that have hooves will trample him with their hooves and those that have horns will gore them with their horns, and there will not be any among that Day that are hornless or that have broken horns.”We said "O Messenger of Allah, what is obliged to do with regard to them?" He said: "Lending the stallion for mating, lending their buckets, lending them to other (to benefit from their milk and hair), milking them when they are brought to water, and providing them as mounts (for Jihad) for the cause of Allah. And there is no owner of wealth who does not pay Zakat on it but it will be turned into a bald-headed Shujaa on the Day of Resurrection, which will pursue its owners wherever he goes. He will be fleeing from it and it will said: "This is your wealth with which you were stingy”. When he sees that there is no escape from it, he will put his hand in its mouth and it will start biting it like a male camel."

It was narrated that Jarir bin Abdullah said: “Some Bedouin people came to Messenger of Allah (SAW) and said:"Some of Zakat collectors come to us and they are unfair to us." The Messenger of Allah said: "Please your Zakat collectors."Jarir said: "No Zakat collector ever left me, after I heard this form the Messenger of Allah (SAW), but he was pleased with me."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ الْجَحْدَرِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِى إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ الْعَبْسِىُّ عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ جَاءَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالُوا إِنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الْمُصَدِّقِينَ يَأْتُونَنَا فَيَظْلِمُونَنَا. قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « ارْضُوا مُصَدِّقِيكُمْ ». قَالَ جَرِيرٌ مَا صَدَرَ عَنِّى مُصَدِّقٌ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- إِلاَّ وَهُوَ عَنِّى رَاضٍ.

It was narrated that Abu Dharr said: “I came to Prophet (SAW) while he was sitting in the shade of Ka’bah, and when He saw me He said: ‘They are the loser, by the lord of Ka’bah!’ I came and sat down, but it was not long before I got up and said: “I Messenger of Allah (SAW) may my mother and father be ransomed for you!’ Who are they? He said: ‘They are the ones who have the most wealth, except for those who do like this and like this and like this’ (and he gestured) in front of him and behind him and to his right and to his left ‘and how few they are. And there is no owner of camels, cattle or sheep who does not pay the Zakat due for them, But this will come on the Day of Resurrection as big and as fat as they ever were, they will gore him with their horns and trample him with their hooves, and every time the last of them moves away the first of them will come back to him, until judgment is passed among the people.’ ”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ عَنِ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِى ذَرٍّ قَالَ انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِى ظِلِّ الْكَعْبَةِ. فَلَمَّا رَآنِى قَالَ « هُمُ الأَخْسَرُونَ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ ». قَالَ فَجِئْتُ حَتَّى جَلَسْتُ فَلَمْ أَتَقَارَّ أَنْ قُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِدَاكَ أَبِى وَأُمِّى مَنْ هُمْ قَالَ « هُمُ الأَكْثَرُونَ أَمْوَالاً إِلاَّ مَنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا - مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ - وَقَلِيلٌ مَا هُمْ مَا مِنْ صَاحِبِ إِبِلٍ وَلاَ بَقَرٍ وَلاَ غَنَمٍ لاَ يُؤَدِّى زَكَاتَهَا إِلاَّ جَاءَتْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْظَمَ مَا كَانَتْ وَأَسْمَنَهُ تَنْطِحُهُ بِقُرُونِهَا وَتَطَؤُهُ بِأَظْلاَفِهَا كُلَّمَا نَفِدَتْ أُخْرَاهَا عَادَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُولاَهَا حَتَّى يُقْضَى بَيْنَ النَّاسِ ».

It was narrated that Abu Dharr said: “I came to Prophet (SAW) when he was sitting in the shade of Ka’bah ,” and he mentioned a Hadith similar to that of Waki(no.2300) , except that he said “ By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, There is no man on the earth who dies, leaving behind camels or cattle or sheep on which he did not pay the Zakat….. ”

وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنِ الْمَعْرُورِ عَنْ أَبِى ذَرٍّ قَالَ انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِى ظِلِّ الْكَعْبَةِ. فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ وَكِيعٍ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ « وَالَّذِى نَفْسِى بِيَدِهِ مَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ رَجُلٌ يَمُوتُ فَيَدَعُ إِبِلاً أَوْ بَقَرًا أَوْ غَنَمًا لَمْ يُؤَدِّ زَكَاتَهَا ».

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet(SAW) said: “I would not like to have gold the likes of Uhud (mountain), and a third day comes and I have a Dinar of it left, apart from a Dinar that I have put aside to pay a debt that I owe.”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلاَّمٍ الْجُمَحِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ - يَعْنِى ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ - عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « مَا يَسُرُّنِى أَنَّ لِى أُحُدًا ذَهَبًا تَأْتِى عَلَىَّ ثَالِثَةٌ وَعِنْدِى مِنْهُ دِينَارٌ إِلاَّ دِينَارٌ أُرْصِدُهُ لِدَيْنٍ عَلَىَّ ».

It was narrated that Abu Dharr said: “I was walking with Prophet (SAW) in the Harrah of Al-Madina one afternoon, and we were Looking at Uhud (mountain) .The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said to me : “O Abu Dharr !” I said ‘Here I am at your service, O Messenger of Allah (SAW).’ He said: ‘I would not like to have this Uhud of gold and third night comes and I have a Dinar left of it, except a Dinar, that I put aside for debt, without giving to the slaves of Allah like this- and he gestured in front of him- and like this- to his right-and like this-to his left’ Then we walked on and he said: ‘O Abu Dharr!’ I said: ‘Here I am at your service, O Messenger of Allah (SAW) ’.He said ‘Those who have the most will have the least on the Day of Resurrection, except those who do like this and like this and like this’. (And he gestured) as he had done the first time. Then we walked on, and he said: ‘O Abu Dharr!, stay where you are, until I come to you’. He set off until he disappeared from me, and I heard a voice and a sound. I said: ‘Perhaps something has happened to the Messenger of Allah (SAW)’and I thought of following him, then I remembered what he had said: ‘Do not leave until I come to you’. So I waited for him, and when he came back I told him what I had heard. He said: ‘That was Jibril- peace be upon him – who came to me and said: ‘Whoever among your Ummah does not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise. I said: Even if he comments Zina and steal? He said: Even he commits Zina and steals.’”

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ أَبِى مُعَاوِيَةَ - قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ - عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ أَبِى ذَرٍّ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَمْشِى مَعَ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِى حَرَّةِ الْمَدِينَةِ عِشَاءً وَنَحْنُ نَنْظُرُ إِلَى أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ لِى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ». قَالَ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ « مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ أُحُدًا ذَاكَ عِنْدِى ذَهَبٌ أَمْسَى ثَالِثَةً عِنْدِى مِنْهُ دِينَارٌ إِلاَّ دِينَارًا أُرْصِدُهُ لِدَيْنٍ إِلاَّ أَنْ أَقُولَ بِهِ فِى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ هَكَذَا - حَثَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ - وَهَكَذَا - عَنْ يَمِينِهِ - وَهَكَذَا - عَنْ شِمَالِهِ ». قَالَ ثُمَّ مَشَيْنَا فَقَالَ « يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ». قَالَ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ.قَالَ « إِنَّ الأَكْثَرِينَ هُمُ الأَقَلُّونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلاَّ مَنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا ». مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعَ فِى الْمَرَّةِ الأُولَى قَالَ ثُمَّ مَشَيْنَا قَالَ « يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ كَمَا أَنْتَ حَتَّى آتِيَكَ ». قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى تَوَارَى عَنِّى - قَالَ - سَمِعْتُ لَغَطًا وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا - قَالَ - فَقُلْتُ لَعَلَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عُرِضَ لَهُ - قَالَ - فَهَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَتَّبِعَهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَهُ « لاَ تَبْرَحْ حَتَّى آتِيَكَ ». قَالَ فَانْتَظَرْتُهُ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ الَّذِى سَمِعْتُ - قَالَ - فَقَالَ « ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ أَتَانِى فَقَالَ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ ». قَالَ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ قَالَ « وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ ».

It was narrated that Abu Dharr said: “I went out one night and saw Messenger of Allah (SAW) walking alone and there was no one with him. I thought that he did not want anyone to walk with him, so I stated walking in the shade , away from the moon light, then he turned and saw me, and said ‘Who is this?’ I said: ‘Abu Dharr, may Allah cause me your ransom’ He said: ‘O Abu Dharr, come here’ So I walked with him for a while, then he said,: ‘Those who have the most will have the least on Day of Resurrection, except the one to whom Allah gives good things and he spends them right and left, in front of him and behind him, and does good with them.’ I walked with him for a while, and then he said: ‘Sit here’ He sat me down in an open space, which as surrounded with rocks and said to me ‘Sit here until I come back to you’. Then he set off in the Harrah until I could not longer see him, and he stayed away from me for a long time. Then I heard him as he was coming back, saying: ‘Even if he steals or commits Zina’. When he came, I could not wait and said: ‘’O Prophet of Allah! May Allah cause me your ransom! To whom you were speaking at the edge of Harrah! I did not hear anyone responding to you He said: ‘That was Jibril- peace be upon him- who appeared to me at the edge of Harrah and said “Give your Ummah the glad tidings that whoever dies not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise”. I said: O Jibril, even if he steals and commits Zina? “He said: Yes, and even if he drinks alcohol.”

وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ رُفَيْعٍ - عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ أَبِى ذَرٍّ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ لَيْلَةً مِنَ اللَّيَالِى فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَمْشِى وَحْدَهُ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ إِنْسَانٌ قَالَ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَمْشِىَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ - قَالَ - فَجَعَلْتُ أَمْشِى فِى ظِلِّ الْقَمَرِ فَالْتَفَتَ فَرَآنِى فَقَالَ « مَنْ هَذَا ». فَقُلْتُ أَبُو ذَرٍّ جَعَلَنِى اللَّهُ فِدَاءَكَ. قَالَ « يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ تَعَالَهْ ». قَالَ فَمَشَيْتُ مَعَهُ سَاعَةً فَقَالَ « إِنَّ الْمُكْثِرِينَ هُمُ الْمُقِلُّونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلاَّ مَنْ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا فَنَفَحَ فِيهِ يَمِينَهُ وَشِمَالَهُ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَوَرَاءَهُ وَعَمِلَ فِيهِ خَيْرًا ». قَالَ فَمَشَيْتُ مَعَهُ سَاعَةً فَقَالَ « اجْلِسْ هَا هُنَا ». قَالَ فَأَجْلَسَنِى فِى قَاعٍ حَوْلَهُ حِجَارَةٌ فَقَالَ لِىَ « اجْلِسْ هَا هُنَا حَتَّى أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكَ ». قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ فِى الْحَرَّةِ حَتَّى لاَ أَرَاهُ فَلَبِثَ عَنِّى فَأَطَالَ اللَّبْثَ ثُمَّ إِنِّى سَمِعْتُهُ وَهُوَ مُقْبِلٌ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ « وَإِنْ سَرَقَ وَإِنْ زَنَى ». قَالَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ لَمْ أَصْبِرْ فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِىَّ اللَّهِ جَعَلَنِى اللَّهُ فِدَاءَكَ مَنْ تُكَلِّمُ فِى جَانِبِ الْحَرَّةِ مَا سَمِعْتُ أَحَدًا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْكَ شَيْئًا. قَالَ « ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ عَرَضَ لِى فِى جَانِبِ الْحَرَّةِ فَقَالَ بَشِّرْ أُمَّتَكَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ مَاتَ لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ.فَقُلْتُ يَا جِبْرِيلُ وَإِنْ سَرَقَ وَإِنْ زَنَى قَالَ نَعَمْ. قَالَ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ سَرَقَ وَإِنْ زَنَى قَالَ نَعَمْ. قَالَ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ سَرَقَ وَإِنْ زَنَى قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ »

It was narrated that Al-Ahnaf bin Qais said: I arrived in Al-Madinah, and while I was in a circle that included some leaders of the Quraish, a man came coarse clothes, a coarse body and a coarse face. He stood in front of them and said: “Give tidings to the hoarders of stones heated in the fire of Hell and placed on the nipples of one of them until it comes out from his shoulder bone, and placed on his shoulder bone until it comes out of his nipple, and he will tremble.” He said: “The people hung their heads, and I did not see anyone of them responding to him at all. He turned and left, and I followed him until he sat down by a pillar, I said: ‘I think that these people did not like what you said to them.’ He said: ‘They do not understand anything. My beloved AbuAl-Qasim (SAW) called me and I responded, and he said: “Do you see Uhud (mountain)?” I looked, and saw the sun shining, and I thought that he was going to send me on an errand. I said: “I can see it.” He said: “I would not like to have its equivalent in gold without spending all of it except of three Dinar, and these people gather worldly wealth and do not understand anything.’” I said: “What is the matter with you and the brothers of Quraish, that you do not ask them for anything and do not get any help from them?” He said: “No by your Lord. I will not ask them for any worldly matter, nor will I consult them about any religious matter, until I meet Allah and his Messenger.”

It was narrated that Al-Ahnaf bin Qais said: “I was with the group of the Quraish when Abu Dharr passed by saying: ‘Give tidings to the hoarders of a branding iron on their backs that will come out from their sides, and the branding-iron on their necks that will come out from their foreheads.’ Then he went away and sat down. I said: ‘Who is that?’ They said: ‘That is Abu-Dharr.’ I got up and went to him and said: ‘What did I hear you say just now?” He said: ‘I did not say anything that I did not hear from their Prophet (SAW). ‘I said: ‘What do you say about this gift?’ He said: ‘Take it, for it is a help today, but if it is at the expense of your religious commitment, then leave it.’

وَحَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَشْهَبِ حَدَّثَنَا خُلَيْدٌ الْعَصَرِىُّ عَنِ الأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ فِى نَفَرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَمَرَّ أَبُو ذَرٍّ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ بَشِّرِ الْكَانِزِينَ بِكَىٍّ فِى ظُهُورِهِمْ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ جُنُوبِهِمْ وَبِكَىٍّ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَقْفَائِهِمْ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ جِبَاهِهِمْ. - قَالَ - ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَقَعَدَ. - قَالَ - قُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا قَالُوا هَذَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ.قَالَ فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ مَا شَىْءٌ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ قُبَيْلُ قَالَ مَا قُلْتُ إِلاَّ شَيْئًا قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ نَبِيِّهِمْ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-. قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا تَقُولُ فِى هَذَا الْعَطَاءِ قَالَ خُذْهُ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ الْيَوْمَ مَعُونَةً فَإِذَا كَانَ ثَمَنًا لِدِينِكَ فَدَعْهُ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (SAW) said: “Allah. May He be blessed and exalted, says: ‘O son of Adam, spend, and I shall spend on you.” And he said: “The right hand of Allah is full and overflowing, and nothing of that diminishes due to the night and day.” And it is also possible that the meaning is: “Overflowing by night and by day.”

حَدَّثَنِى زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ أَبِى الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-قَالَ « قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ أَنْفِقْ أُنْفِقْ عَلَيْكَ ». وَقَالَ «يَمِينُ اللَّهِ مَلأَى-وَقَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ مَلآنُ -سَحَّاءُ لاَ يَغِيضُهَا شَىْءٌ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ ».
