وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَكُونُ كَنْزُ أَحَدِكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُجَاعًا أَقْرَعَ قَالَ وَيَفِرُّ مِنْهُ صَاحِبُهُ وَيَطْلُبُهُ وَيَقُولُ أَنَا كَنْزُكَ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَنْ يَزَالَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَتَّى يَبْسُطَ يَدَهُ فَيُلْقِمَهَا فَاهُ
English Translation
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The treasure that one of you hoards will appear on the Day of Resurrection as a large bald serpent. Its owner will flee from it but it will pursue him, saying: I am your treasure. He will put his hand into its mouth and it will gnaw at it.'
