حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَثَلُ الْبَخِيلِ وَالْمُنْفِقِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا جُبَّتَانِ (١) مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، مِنْ لَدُنْ، ، ثُدِيِّهِمَا (١) إِلَى تَرَاقِيهِمَا، فَأَمَّا الْمُنْفِقُ، فَلَا يُنْفِقُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا اتَّسَعَتْ حَلَقَةٌ مَكَانَهَا، فَهُوَ يُوَسِّعُهَا عَلَيْهِ، وَأَمَّا الْبَخِيلُ، فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَزْدَادُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا اسْتِحْكَامًا " (٢)، ،

English translation
It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: The example of a miser and a spender is like that of two men who have iron armor on their bodies from the chest to the collarbone. Whenever the spender spends something, the armor becomes more spacious in proportion to his spending and it opens up for him, while the miser’s armor becomes tighter and tighter.
