Takhrij:
«ضعيف»
In [ترمذي 1963], it is narrated from Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: «لا يدخل الجنة خب ولا منان ولا بخيل» "A deceitful person will not enter Paradise, nor one who reminds others of his favors, nor a miser." See: Da‘if Tirmidhi by al-Albani [330]

And in Tirmidhi [1946], it is also narrated from Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: «لا يدخل الجنة سيء الملكة» "A person who is bad in ownership will not enter Paradise." See: Da‘if Tirmidhi [336] and see Tuhfat al-Ashraf [5/305'304]
This hadith is weak because in both of its chains there is a narrator, Farqad al-Sabkhi, about whom al-Hafiz said: «صدوق عابد لكنه لين الحديث كثير الخطا» [تقريب]
However, there are several other ahadith regarding the evil of these actions.

Mufradat (Vocabulary):
«خَبٌّ» With a fatha on the letter kha, is the verbal noun of «سَيِّيُ الْمَلَكَةِ اَلْمَلَكَةُ مَلَكَ يَمْلَكُ», meaning a deceitful person. The one who is bad in ownership refers to a person who treats his slaves or animals under his ownership badly, makes them work beyond their capacity, beats them unjustly, and does not take care of their comfort, food, or treatment.

Takhrij:
«أخرجه الترمذي، البر والصلة، باب ما جاء في البخل، حديث:1963 وقال: حسن غريب.* صدقة وفرقد ضعيفان.»©Explanation:
The aforementioned narration is weak in its chain of transmission; however, the condemnation and reprehensibility of deception, miserliness, and bad character are evident from other proofs in the Qur’an and Sunnah.
Therefore, it is necessary to avoid these vile actions.
