Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ تَرَكَ كَنْزًا فَإِنَّهُ يُمَثَّلُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِ
يَامَةِ شُجَاعًا أَقْرَعَ يَتْبَعُهُ لَهُ زَبِيبَتَانِ فَمَا زَالَ يَطْلُبُهُ يَقُولُ وَيْلَكَ مَا أَنْتَ قَالَ يَقُولُ أَنَا كَنْزُكَ الَّذِي تَرَكْتَ بَعْدَكَ قَالَ فَيُلْقِمُهُ يَدَهُ فَيَقْضَمُهَا ثُمَّ يُتْبِعُهُ بِسَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ

English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, Sa'id narrated to us, from Qatadah, from al-Hasan, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه), who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever leaves behind a treasure [of wealth without paying its zakah], it will be made into a bald-headed serpent on the Day of Resurrection that will chase him with its mouth open. He will flee from it, and it will say: I am your treasure, I am your wealth. He will keep fleeing until he puts his hand in its mouth, and it will gnaw on it.'
