"Generosity is close to Allah, close to Paradise, close to the people and far from the Fire. Stinginess is far from Allah, far from Paradise, far from the people and close to the Fire. The ignorant generous person, is more beloved to Allah than the worshiping stingy person."
“The stingy person is the one before whom I am mentioned, and he does not send Salat upon me.”
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, The example of a miser and a generous person is
like that of two persons wearing iron cloaks from the breast upto the
neck When the generous person spends, the iron cloak enlarges and
spread over his skin so much so that it covers his fingertips and
obliterates his tracks. As for the miser, as soon as he thinks of
spending every ring of the iron cloak sticks to its place (against his
body) and he tries to expand it, but it does not expand. The Prophet (ﷺ)
pointed with his hand towards his throat.
"Whoever is given a gift, then if he finds something let him reciprocate. If he has nothing, then let him mention some praise. For whoever has mentioned some praise, then he has expressed his gratitude. And whoever refrains (from doing so) then he has committed Kufr. And whoever pretends to be satisfied by that which he was not given, he is like the one who wears a garment of falsehood."
“Whoever
wears
a garment of pride and vanity, Allah will turn away from him
until he
takes it off.”
