أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْجَوَّازُ الْمَكِّيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ثُمَّ حَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ مَثَلَ الْمُنْفِقِ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقِ وَالْبَخِيلِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا جُبَّتَانِ أَوْ جُنَّتَانِ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ مِنْ لَدُنْ ثُدِيِّهِمَا إِلَى تَرَاقِيهِمَا فَإِذَا أَرَادَ الْمُنْفِقُ أَنْ يُنْفِقَ اتَّسَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الدِّرْعُ أَوْ مَرَّتْ حَتَّى تُجِنَّ بَنَانَهُ وَتَعْفُوَ أَثَرَهُ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ الْبَخِيلُ أَنْ يُنْفِقَ قَلَصَتْ وَلَزِمَتْ كُلُّ حَلْقَةٍ مَوْضِعَهَا حَتَّى أَخَذَتْ بِتَرْقُوَتِهِ أَوْ بِرَقَبَتِهِ» يَقُولُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَذَا قَالَ يُوَسِّعُهَا وَلَا تَتَّسِعُ قَالَ طَاوُسٌ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ وَهُوَ يُوَسِّعُهَا فَلَا تَتَّسِعُ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The example of the spender, the giver of charity, and the miser is like two men upon whom are two coats of mail or two shields of iron from their chests to their collarbones. When the spender intends to spend, the coat of mail expands or passes until it covers his fingertips and conceals his tracks. When the miser intends to spend, it contracts and each ring clings to its place until it grips his collarbone or his neck." Abu Hurayrah said: "I bear witness that he saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ like that," he said: "he would widen it and it would not widen." Tawus said: "I heard Abu Hurayrah gesturing with his hand while he was widening it and it would not widen."
