Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ جَامِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَمْنَعُ عَبْدٌ زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ إِلَّا جُعِلَ لَهُ شُجَاعٌ أَقْرَعُ يَتْبَعُهُ يَفِرُّ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ يَتْبَعُهُ فَيَقُولُ أَنَا كَنْزُكَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مِصْدَاقَهُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ { سَيُطَوَّقُونَ مَا بَخِلُوا بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ } قَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً يُطَوَّقُهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ.
English Translation
Sufyan told us, from Jami', from Abu Wa'il, from Abdullah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "No servant withholds the zakat due on his wealth but that a bald serpent will be made for him, following him; he will flee from it while it pursues him, saying: 'I am your treasure.'" Then Abdullah recited its confirmation in the Book of Allah: "They will be encircled by what they withheld, on the Day of Resurrection." Sufyan said another time: "It will be placed as a collar around his neck."
