511 – ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb narrates from his father, from his grandfather ﵁: “A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ with her daughter, and on the girl’s hand were two masaktān (dual of maska) of gold. He asked her, ‘Do you pay the zakat on these?’ She replied, ‘No.’ He said, ‘Would it please you for Allah to surround you with two bracelets of fire on the Day of Resurrection because of them?’ Thereupon she threw them down.” Reported by the three compilers, and its chain of transmission is strong (1). Al-Ḥākim likewise declared it sound through the narration of ʿĀʾishah (2).
