Hadith 6

Tafseer of the Imam-asws, may the greeting be upon him-asws – Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The one who gives the Zakat to a deserving one, and fulfils the Salat upon its limits, and does not, along with these two, indulge in the grievous sins what would invalidate these, would come on the Day of Qiyamah envied by everyone in those plains, to the extent that the breeze of the Paradise would raise him up to its highest of its levels and lofty places to be in the presence of the ones whom he used to befriend, from Muhammad–saww and his–saww goodly Progeny–asws. And the one who is stingy with his Zakat and (but) performs his Salat, then his Salat would be withheld below the sky until his Zakat comes. If he pays it, it is made like the best of the horses obedient to his Salat, and it carries it to the base of the Throne. Allah–azwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying: “Go to the Gardens and run therein up to the Day of Qiyamah, and whatever you end up to, so all of it, along with whatever you touch (its left and its right) would be for you. It runs therein and every run of it, travel distance of a year, in a measurement of the blink of an eye from its day up to the Day of Qiyamah, until it ends up to whatever Allah–azwj the Exalted so Desires, and all of that would happen to be for him, and the like of it from his right and his left, and his front and his behind, and above him and below him. And if he is stingy with his Zakat and does not pay it, it is Commanded with the Salat for its return to him, and it is folded just like the folding of the clothes of the people, and then his face its struck with it, and it is said to him, ‘O Servant of Allah–azwj! What it to be done with (Salat) this without this (Zakat)! ’’[5]
