Hadith.1583 Hariz reported from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that he said: "Anyone who possesses wealth in gold or silver and withholds the Zakat of his wealth will be confined by Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, on the Day of Resurrection in a flat, open plain. A bald snake will be unleashed upon him, chasing him as he attempts to flee. When he realizes he cannot escape, the snake will seize his hand and bite it like a radish is bitten, and then it will coil around his neck. This is the meaning of Allah’s (swt) statement: 'They will be encircled by what they withheld on the Day of Resurrection' (Surah Ali ‘Imran 3:180). And anyone who possesses wealth in the form of camels, cows, or sheep and withholds the Zakat of his wealth will be confined by Allah (swt), the Almighty, on the Day of Resurrection in a flat, open plain. Every animal with a hoof will trample upon him with its hooves, and every animal with fangs will bite him with its fangs. And anyone who possesses wealth in the form of palm trees, grapevines, or crops and withholds its Zakat, Allah (swt), the Exalted, will place upon him the burden of the yield of his land, extending to the depth of seven earths, until the Day of Resurrection."

Therefore, whoever establishes prayer but does not give Zakat, it is as though he has not established prayer."

Imam (as) replied: "Whoever withholds Zakat, their prayer is suspended until they pay their Zakat."

1595 - وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَا ضَاعَ مَالٌ فِي بَرٍّ وَ لاَ بَحْرٍ إِلاَّ بِتَضْيِيعِ اَلزَّكَاةِ وَ لاَ يُصَادُ مِنَ اَلطَّيْرِ إِلاَّ مَا ضَيَّعَ تَسْبِيحَهُ ».
