Chapter on What Has Been Narrated About Those Who Refuse to Pay Zakat
وَ رَوَى عُبَيْدُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَمْنَعُ دِرْهَماً فِي حَقِّهِ إِلاَّ أَنْفَقَ اِثْنَيْنِ فِي غَيْرِ حَقِّهِ وَ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَمْنَعُ حَقّاً فِي مَالِهِ إِلاَّ طَوَّقَهُ اَللَّهُ بِهِ حَيَّةً مِنْ نَارٍ يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ ».
Ubayd ibn Zurara reported from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام who said: "There is no man who withholds a single dirham from its rightful due except that he will spend two dirhams inappropriately. And there is no man who withholds a rightful due in his wealth except that Allah سبحانه وتعالى will encircle him with it as a snake of fire on the Day of Resurrection."
