It will be put round his neck on the day of resurrection and then it will seize his jawa then says, I am your property: I am your treasure - He then recited:

                               

(And let not those who hoard up which ALLAAH hath bestowed upon them of His bounty think that it is better for them. Nay, it is worse for them. That which they hoard will be their collar on the Day of Resurrection. [Quran III/180] [Bukhari, Nisai]
