Mtume ﷺ alimtuma Mu'adh kwenda Yemen na akamwambia: "Waambie kwamba Allah (SWT) amewawajibishia sadaka katika mali zao, inayochukuliwa kutoka kwa matajiri wao na kupewa maskini wao."
Adhabu kali zimeahidiwa kwa wale wanaozuia na kukataa Zakat. Abu Hurayra alisimulia kwamba Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Hakuna mwenye dhahabu au fedha asiyetoa haki yake ila atatengenezewa mabamba ya moto siku ya Kiyama. Yatapashwa moto katika Jahannam kisha yatatumika kuchoma pande zake, paji lake la uso na mgongo wake. Kila yanapopoa, yatarudishwa moto kwake katika Siku ambayo urefu wake ni miaka 50,000, mpaka hukumu itolewe baina ya watu, na ataonyeshwa njia yake, ama kwenda Peponi au Motoni."
Iliulizwa: "Ewe Mjumbe wa Allah (SWT) ﷺ, vipi kuhusu ngamia?" Akasema: "Hakuna mwenye ngamia asiyetoa haki yake, na miongoni mwa haki yake ni maziwa yao siku ya kuwapeleka majini, ila siku ya Kiyama tambarare pana itanyoshwa kwa ajili ya ngamia wenye wingi zaidi, bila hata mmoja wa ngamia wadogo kupotea. Watamkanyaga kwa miguu yao na kumuuma kwa midomo yao. Mara la kwanza linapopita kwake, la mwisho litarudi katika Siku ambayo urefu wake ni miaka 50,000, mpaka hukumu itolewe baina ya watu, naye ataonyeshwa njia yake, ama kwenda Peponi au Motoni."
Iliulizwa: "Ewe Mjumbe wa Allah (SWT) ﷺ, vipi kuhusu ng'ombe na kondoo?" Akasema: "Hakuna mwenye ng'ombe au kondoo asiyetoa haki yake, ila siku ya Kiyama tambarare pana itanyoshwa kwa ajili ya ng'ombe na kondoo, bila mmoja wao kupotea, awe mkaidi, au mwenye pembe zilizovunjika, au mwenye nywele chache kichwani. Watamchoma kwa pembe zao na kumkanyaga kwa kwato zao zilizopasuka. Mara la kwanza linapopita, la mwisho litarudi katika Siku ambayo urefu wake ni miaka 50,000, mpaka hukumu itolewe baina ya watu. Kisha ataonyeshwa njia yake, ama kwenda Peponi au Motoni." (Imesimuliwa na watano isipokuwa At-Tirmidhi).
The Prophet (saw) sent Mu’az to Yemen and said to him: “Inform them that Allah (swt) obliged Sadaqah upon their wealth that is taken from their rich and given to their poor.” Harsh punishments are promised to those who prevent and withhold the Zakat. Abu Hurayra narrated that the Prophet (saw) said: “No owner of gold or silver who fails to give its due right except that he will have sheets of fire made for him on the Day of Judgement. They will be heated in the Hellfire then used to burn his sides, forehead and back. Whenever they cool, they are reheated to him in a Day which is 50,000 years long, until it is judged between the people and he is shown his path, either to Paradise or to the Fire.” It was said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (saw), what of the camels?’ He said: “No owner of camels who fails to give their due right, and of their right is their milk the day they reach water, except that on the Day of Judgement a level plain will be extended for camels as most plentiful without one young camel been lost. They will trample him with their feet and bite him with their mouths. As soon as the first one passes him the last one will return in a Day which is 50,000 years long, until it is judged between the people and he is shown his path, either to Paradise or to the Fire.” It was said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (saw), what of the cows and sheep?’ He said: “No owner of cows or sheep who fails to give their due right, except that on the Day of judgement a level plain will be extended for the cows and sheep, without anyone of them being lost whether a rebellious one, or of broken horn or of scanty hair on head. They will butt him with their horns and trample him with their cloven hoofs. As soon as the first one passes by the last one will return in a Day which is 50,000 years long, until it is judged between the people. Then he will be shown his path, either to Paradise or the Fire.” (narrated by the five except At-Tirmizi).
