Summary
Malik transmits from Abdallah ibn Dinar, from Abu Salih al-Samman, from Abu Hurayra (may God be pleased with him), that he used to say: whoever has property and does not pay its zakat, will be represented on the Day of Resurrection as a bald male serpent with two black dots over its eyes, which seeks him until it can reach him, saying: I am your hoard. The editor notes that the raised version is in al-Bukhari from several routes. 1
