851. THE ONE WHO REFUSES TO PAY THE ALMS-TAX

2699.الإمامُ الباقرُ عليه السلام : الذي يَمنَعُ الزَّكاةَ يُحَوِّلُ اللَّهُ مالَهُ يَومَ القِيامَةِ شُجاعاً مِن نارٍ لَهُ رِيمَتانِ‏1 فَيُطَوِّقُهُ إيّاهُ ثُمّ يقالُ لَهُ : اِلزَمْهُ كما لَزِمَكَ في الدنيا ، وهُو قولُ اللَّهِ (سَيُطَوَّقُونَ ما بَخِلُوا بِهِ يَوم القيامة)2.3

2699.Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, 'He who refuses to pay the alms-tax, on the Day of Resurrection Allah will transform his wealth into a cobra with two venom glands that will coil itself around him and be told, 'Tighten your grip on him just as he was tight-fisted with you in the world.' This is in accordance with Allah's verse in the Qur'an: "They will be collared with what they grudge..." 45

2700.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : مَن مَنَعَ الزَّكاةَ سَألَ الرَّجعَةَ عندَ المَوتِ، وهُو قولُ اللَّهِ عزّوجلّ : (حَتّى‏ إذا جاءَ أحَدَهُمُ المَوْتُ قالَ رَبِّ ارْجِعُونِ * لَعَلِّي أعْمَلُ صالِحاً فيما تَرَكْتُ)6.7

2700.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Those who refuse to pay the alms-tax ask to be returned to the world at the time of death, as per Allah's verse in the Qur'an: "When death comes to one of them, he says, 'My Lord! Take me back, that I may act righteously in what I have left behind." 89

2701.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : السُّرّاقُ ثلاثةٌ : مانعُ الزَّكاةِ ، ومُستَحِلُّ مُهُورِ النِّساءِ ، وكذلكَ مَنِ استَدانَ ولَم يَنوِ قَضاءَهُ .10

2701.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'There are three types of people that are considered thieves: the one who refuses to pay the alms-tax, the one who spends his wife's dowry unlawfully, and the one who takes a loan with no intention to repay it.' 11

2702.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : مَن مَنَعَ قِيراطاً مِنَ الزَّكاةِ فَلْيَمُتْ إن شاءَ يَهُوديّاً وإن شاءَ نَصرانيّاً .12

2702.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'He who refuses to pay [as meagre an amount as] a sixteen of a dirham in alms-tax may as well die a Jew or a Christian.' 13
