It is reported about Sayyiduna Abu al-Qayn (may Allah be pleased with him) that he passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) carrying some dates. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reached towards him to take a handful of dates from him and spread them before his Companions, but he pressed the edge of his cloak to his stomach and chest. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah Almighty increase your stinginess."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains a narrator, Sa'id bin Jumhan, whom a group declared thiqah (trustworthy), and there is disagreement about him; its remaining narrators are the narrators of the Sahih. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: The remaining chains of the hadith of this chapter will come in the chapter on zuhd (abstinence).
