أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "مَثَلُ الْمُنْفِقِ وَالْبَخِيلِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا جُبَّتَانِ أَوْ جُنَّتَانِ مِنْ لَدُنْ ثَدْيَيْهِمَا إِلَى تَرَاقِيهِمَا فَإِذَا أَرَادَ الْمُنْفِقُ أَنْ يُنْفِقَ سَبَغَتْ عَلَيْهِ الدِّرْعُ أَوْ مَرَّتْ حَتَّى [ ص: 139 ] تُجِنَّ ثِيَابَهُ وَتَعْفُوَ أَثَرَهُ، وَإِذَا أَرَادَ الْبَخِيلُ أَنْ يُنْفِقَ قَلَصَتْ وَلَزِمَتْ كُلُّ حَلْقَةٍ مَوْضِعَهَا حَتَّى تَأْخُذَ بِعُنُقِهِ أَوْ تَرْقُوَتِهِ فَهُوَ يُوَسِّعُهَا وَلَا تَتَّسِعُ" .
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The example of the one who gives charity and the miser is like two persons wearing two coats of mail or armors from their chests up to their collarbones. When the generous person intends to spend, the armor covers his body or extends over him until it covers his clothes, and its traces disappear as he walks. But when the miser intends to spend, the coat tightens, and every ring clings to its place, until it even squeezes his neck or throat. The miser tries to loosen it, but he cannot loosen it."
