Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ: أَنَّ امْرَأَتَيْنِ أَتَتَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفِي أَيْدِيهِمَا سِوَارَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «تُؤَدِّيَانِ زَكَاتَهُ؟» قَالَتَا: لَا. فَقَالَ لَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَتُحِبَّانِ أَنْ يُسَوِّرَكُمَا اللَّهُ بِسِوَارَيْنِ مِنْ نَارٍ؟» قَالَتَا: لَا. قَالَ: «فَأَدِّيَا زَكَاتَهُ» رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيث قد رَوَاهُ الْمُثَنَّى بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ نَحْوَ هَذَا وَالْمُثَنَّى بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ وَابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ يُضَعَّفَانِ فِي الْحَدِيثِ وَلَا يَصِحُّ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْء

Translation

Amr ibn Shuaib, from his father, from his grandfather, reported: Two women came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with gold bangles on their hands. He said to them, ‘Do you pay zakat on these?’ They said, ‘No.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them, ‘Would you like Allah to put two bangles of fire on you?’ They said, ‘No.’ He said, ‘Then pay their zakat.’ Al-Tirmidhi transmitted it and said: Al-Muthanna ibn al-Sabbah narrated a similar report from Amr ibn Shuaib. Al-Muthanna ibn al-Sabbah and Ibn Lahiʿa are considered weak in hadith, and nothing sound on this subject is established from the Prophet ﷺ.
