وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
مَثَلُ الْمُنْفِقِ وَالْبَخِيلِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا جُبَّةٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ مِنْ ثَدْيَيْهِمَا إِلَى تَرَاقِيهِمَا، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ الْمُنْفِقُ أَنْ يُنْفِقَ سَبَغَتْ عَلَيْهِ الدِّرْعُ حَتَّى تَعْفُوَ أَثَرَهُ، وَإِذَا أَرَادَ الْبَخِيلُ أَنْ يُنْفِقَ قَلَصَتْ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ، فَهُوَ يُرْسِلُهَا وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ، وَهُوَ يُرْسِلُهَا وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ
Translation
Chain of narrators
- Rasūl Allāh ﷺ
✧ The example of the spender and the miser is like two men upon whom are two coats of iron from their chests to their collarbones. When the spender intends to spend, the coat of mail expands over him until it covers his footsteps; and when the miser intends to spend, it contracts from behind him, so he keeps trying to loosen it but is unable, and he keeps trying to loosen it but is unable.
