Home Hadith Hadith 1364
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be established till your wealth increases so
much so that one will be worried, for no one will accept his Zakat and the person to whom he will
give it will reply, 'I am not in need of it.' "
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 24, Hadith 16
← Previous Hadith
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "O people! Give in charity as a time will come upon you when a person
will wander about with his object of charity and will not find anybody to accept it, and one (who will
be requested to take it) will say, "If you had brought it yesterday, would have taken it, but today I am
not in need of it."

While I was sitting with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) two person came to him; one of them complained
about his poverty and the other complained about the prevalence of robberies. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said,
"As regards stealing and robberies, there will shortly come a time when a caravan will go to Mecca
(from Medina) without any guard. And regarding poverty, The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be
established till one of you wanders about with his object of charity and will not find anybody to accept
it And (no doubt) each one of you will stand in front of Allah and there will be neither a curtain nor an
interpreter between him and Allah, and Allah will ask him, 'Did not I give you wealth?' He will reply
in the affirmative. Allah will further ask, 'Didn't send a messenger to you?' And again that person will
reply in the affirmative Then he will look to his right and he will see nothing but Hell-fire, and then he
will look to his left and will see nothing but Hell-fire. And so, any (each one) of you should save
himself from the fire even by giving half of a date-fruit (in charity). And if you do not find a hall datefruit,
then (you can do it through saying) a good pleasant word (to your brethren). (See Hadith No.
