حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ حَدَّثَنَا رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ سَيْفٍ الْمَعَافِرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ بَصُرَ بِامْرَأَةٍ لَا نَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ عَرَفَهَا فَلَمَّا تَوَجَّهْنَا الطَّرِيقَ وَقَفَ حَتَّى انْتَهَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ مَا أَخْرَجَكِ مِنْ بَيْتِكِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ قَالَتْ أَتَيْتُ أَهْلَ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ فَرَحَّمْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ مَيِّتَهُمْ وَعَزَّيْتُهُمْ فَقَالَ لَعَلَّكِ بَلَغْتِ مَعَهُمْ الْكُدَى قَالَتْ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ بَلَغْتُهَا مَعَهُمْ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ تَذْكُرُ فِي ذَلِكَ مَا تَذْكُرُ قَالَ لَوْ بَلَغْتِهَا مَعَهُمْ مَا رَأَيْتِ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى يَرَاهَا جَدُّ أَبِيكِ.
English Translation
Abu al-Nadr narrated to us: al-Mas'udi narrated from al-Qasim ibn Abd al-Rahman from his father from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: There is no one who does not pay the Zakat on his wealth except that a bald-headed poisonous serpent will be hung around his neck on the Day of Resurrection. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) recited the verse: 'And let not those who withhold what Allah has bestowed upon them of His bounty think that it is good for them. Rather, it is bad for them. They will have what they withheld hung around their necks on the Day of Resurrection.'
