Chapter on What Has Been Narrated About Those Who Refuse to Pay Zakat
وَ رَوَى أَيُّوبُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَانِعُ اَلزَّكَاةِ يُطَوَّقُ بِحَيَّةٍ قَرْعَاءَ تَأْكُلُ مِنْ دِمَاغِهِ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: « سَيُطَوَّقُونَ مٰا بَخِلُوا بِهِ يَوْمَ اَلْقِيٰامَةِ » »
Ayyub ibn Rashid reported from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام who said: "The one who withholds Zakat will be encircled by a bald snake that will eat from his brain. This is the meaning of Allah’s سبحانه وتعالى statement: 'They will be encircled by what they withheld on the Day of Resurrection' (Surah Ali ‘Imran 3:180)."
