Sahih Muslim 988a (Book 12, Hadith 33) #9432
Consequences of Not Paying What Is Due

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the consequences of not paying what is due on camels, goats, sheep and treasures.

Jabir b. 'Abdullah al-Ansari reported Allah's Messenger as saying: The owner of a camel who does not pay what is due on it (would be punished in this way) that on the Day of Resurrection many more (along with his camel) would come and the owner would be made to sit on a soft sandy ground and they would trample him with their feet and hooves. And no owner of the cattle who does not pay what is due on them (would be spared the punishment) but on the Day of Resurrection, many more would come and he (the owner) would be made to sit on the soft sandy ground and would be gored by their horns and trampled under their feet. And no owner of the goats and sheep who does not pay what is due on them (would be spared of punishment) but many more would come on the Day of Resurrection and he (the owner) would be made to sit on a soft sandy ground and they would gore him with their horns and trample him under their hooves. And there would be more (among this flock of sheep and goat) without horns or with broken horns. And no owner of the treasure who does not pay its due but his treasure would come on the Day of Resurrection like a bald snake and would pursue him with its mouth open, and when it would come near he would run away from it, and he would be called thus:" Take your treasure which you concealed, for I do not need it". When he would find no way out he would put his hand in its mouth and it would gnaw it like a he-camel. Abu Zubair said: We heard Ubaid b. Umair saying this. We then asked Jabir b. 'Abdullah about this. And he also said like Ubaid b. Umair, Abu Zubair said: I heard 'Ubaid b. 'Umair saying: A man said: Messenger of Allah, what is due on camels? He said: Milking them near water, and lending of bucket (used for drawing water from it), or lending its male for mating with a she-camel and providing it as a ride for the sake of Allah.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith talks about the consequences of not paying what is due on camels, goats, sheep and treasures. It warns us that if we do not pay our dues then we will be punished severely in the hereafter. On the Day of Resurrection, many more animals would come along with their owners and they would trample them with their feet and hooves or gore them with their horns. The owner of a treasure would be pursued by a bald snake which he could not escape from until he pays his dues. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also mentioned that it is important to milk camels near water, lend buckets used for drawing water from it or lend its male for mating with a she camel as well as providing it as a ride for Allah’s sake are all duties that must be fulfilled in order to avoid punishment in the hereafter.
