Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir 2678 — Beware of greed and stinginess
«إياكم والشح فإنما هلك من كان قبلكم بالشح أمرهم بالبخل فبخلوا وأمرهم بالقطيعة فقطعوا وأمرهم بالفجور ففجروا»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Beware of greed and stinginess, for those before you were destroyed only because of greed. It commanded them to be miserly, so they were miserly; it commanded them to sever ties of kinship, so they severed them; and it commanded them to commit wickedness, so they committed wickedness."
