أَخْبَرَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، عَنِ ابْنِ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَا مِنْ صَاحِبِ إِبِلٍ وَلاَ بَقَرٍ وَلاَ غَنَمٍ لاَ يُؤَدِّي حَقَّهَا إِلاَّ وُقِفَ لَهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِقَاعٍ قَرْقَرٍ تَطَؤُهُ ذَاتُ الأَظْلاَفِ بِأَظْلاَفِهَا وَتَنْطَحُهُ ذَاتُ الْقُرُونِ بِقُرُونِهَا لَيْسَ فِيهَا يَوْمَئِذٍ جَمَّاءُ وَلاَ مَكْسُورَةُ الْقَرْنِ " . قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَاذَا حَقُّهَا قَالَ " إِطْرَاقُ فَحْلِهَا وَإِعَارَةُ دَلْوِهَا وَحَمْلٌ عَلَيْهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلاَ صَاحِبِ مَالٍ لاَ يُؤَدِّي حَقَّهُ إِلاَّ يُخَيَّلُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُجَاعٌ أَقْرَعُ يَفِرُّ مِنْهُ صَاحِبُهُ وَهُوَ يَتْبَعُهُ يَقُولُ لَهُ هَذَا كَنْزُكَ الَّذِي كُنْتَ تَبْخَلُ بِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَنَّهُ لاَ بُدَّ لَهُ مِنْهُ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي فِيهِ فَجَعَلَ يَقْضَمُهَا كَمَا يَقْضَمُ الْفَحْلُ " .
Wasil ibn Abd al-Ala reported from Ibn Fudayl, from Abd al-Malik ibn Abi Sulayman, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Any owner of camels, cattle, or sheep who does not pay their due will be made to stand before them on the Day of Resurrection on a level, open plain. Those with cloven hooves will trample him, and those with horns will gore him. None of them that day will be hornless or broken-horned. We said: Messenger of Allah, what is their due? He said: Allowing their males to mate with them, lending their bucket, and carrying loads on them in the cause of Allah. No owner of wealth who does not pay its due will escape being shown a bald serpent on the Day of Resurrection. Its owner will flee from it, but it will pursue him, saying: This is your treasure that you used to hoard. When he sees that there is no escaping it, he will put his hand into its mouth, and it will chew it as a stallion chews.
Translation notes
The report defines livestock rights as allowing breeding, lending the water bucket, and carrying loads in the cause of Allah. It contrasts these with the punishment for withholding the due on wealth.
