English translation
[2359] 75 - (1021) It was narrated from Abû Hurairah that the Prophet said: "The likeness of the one who spends and gives charity is that of a man who is wearing two cloaks or two coats of chain-mail from his chest to his collar bone. When he wants to give in charity, it becomes expanded for him. But when the miser wants to spend, it contracts for him and each ring grips its place, (but for the giver it expands) until it covers his fingertips and erases his footsteps." Abû Hurairah said: "He (ﷺ) said: '(The miser) tries to expand it but it will not expand.'"
