Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 8, Hadith 4
‘Abu Hurairah narrated that: the Messenger of Allah said: “The camels on which the dues (i.e. Zakat) were not paid will come, trampling their owners with their hooves. And cattle and sheep will come and trample at their owners with their hooves and butt them with their horns, And hoarded treasure will come in the form of a bald-headed snale, and will meet its owner on the Day of Resurrection. Its owner will flee from it two time, then it will come to him and he will flee again, and will say: ‘What do I have to do with you?’ and it will say: ‘I am your hoarded treasure, I am your hoarded treasure.’ He will try to shield himself with this hand and it will devour it.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَرْوَانَ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْعُثْمَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ ” تَأْتِي الإِبِلُ الَّتِي لَمْ تُعْطِ الْحَقَّ مِنْهَا تَطَأُ صَاحِبَهَا بِأَخْفَافِهَا وَتَأْتِي الْبَقَرُ وَالْغَنَمُ تَطَأُ صَاحِبَهَا بِأَظْلاَفِهَا وَتَنْطَحُهُ بِقُرُونِهَا وَيَأْتِي الْكَنْزُ شُجَاعًا أَقْرَعَ فَيَلْقَى صَاحِبَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَفِرُّ مِنْهُ صَاحِبُهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَسْتَقْبِلُهُ فَيَفِرُّ صَاحِبُهُ فَيَقُولُ مَالِي وَلَكَ . فَيَقُولُ أَنَا كَنْزُكَ أَنَا كَنْزُكَ . فَيَتَّقِيهِ بِيَدِهِ فَيَلْقَمُهَا .
Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 8, Hadith 4
Sahih (Darussalam)
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. The Sunan Ibn Majah is a monumental work in Islamic literature, being one of the six primary hadith collections accepted by Sunni Muslims. Its author, Ibn Majah, passed away in the year 886 CE after compiling thousands of prophetic traditions. The book’s content is remarkably wide-ranging, offering teachings on fundamental beliefs, detailed instructions for worship, ethical directives, and commentary on community affairs. A distinguishing feature of this collection is its critical reception. While it is held in high regard, it does not quite match the perceived authenticity level of the other five major collections due to the presence of some less reliable reports. Despite this, it maintains its vital role in scholarly research.
