Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "There is no man who does not pay the Zakat of his wealth except that Allah will make it into a snake on his neck on the Day of Resurrection." Then he recited to us its confirmation from the Book of Allah: And let not those who hoard what Allah has given them of His bounty think that it is better for them. Rather, it is worse for them. Their necks will be encircled by what they hoarded on the Day of Resurrection."
