"الْجُودُ من جُودِ الله تَعَالى، فجُودُوا يَجد اللهُ لكم، ألا إِنَّ الله خَلَقَ الجُودَ فَجعله في صُورَةِ رَجُلٍ، وَجَعَلَ أُسَّهُ رَاسِخًا في أَصِل شَجرةِ طُوبى، وشيد أَغصانها بأَغصان سدرة المنتهى، ودلى بعض أَغصانها إلى الدنيا، فمن تعلق بغصن منها أَدخله الجنة، ألا إِنَّ السخاءَ من الإيمان، والإِيمان في الجَنَّةِ، وَخَلَقَ البُخْلَ من مَقْتِهِ وَجَعل أُسَّهُ رَاسِخًا في أصْلِ شَجَرَةِ الزَّقُوم ودَلَّى بعض أَغْصَانِها إِلى الدنيا، فَمَنْ تَعَلَّقَ بغُصْنٍ منها أَدْخَلَهُ النَّارَ، ألَّا إِنَّ البُخْلَ مِنَ الكُفْرِ، والكُفْرُ في النَّارِ".
Translation

"Generosity is from the generosity of God Almighty, so be generous and God will be generous to you. Indeed, God created Generosity and made it in the form of a man. He made its root firmly fixed in the base of the tree of Ṭūbā, and attached its branches to the branches of the Lote Tree of the Furthest Boundary, and lowered some of its branches down to this world. Whoever holds on to one of its branches, it will bring him into Paradise. Indeed, munificence is part of faith, and faith is in Paradise. And He created Miserliness from His wrath and made its root firmly fixed in the base of the tree of Zaqqūm, and lowered some of its branches down to this world. Whoever holds on to one of its branches, it will bring him into the Fire. Indeed, miserliness is part of disbelief, and disbelief is in the Fire."
