Silsilah as-Sahihah 1106 — Miserliness is destructive

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The foundation of the uprightness (and correctness) of the first people of this Ummah was asceticism (detachment from the world) and certainty, and the destruction of the last people will be due to miserliness and (long) hopes."
