1961. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Generosity is close to Allāh, close to Paradise, close to the people and far from the Fire. Stinginess is far from Allāh, far from Paradise, far from the people and close to the Fire. The ignorant generous person, is more beloved to Allāh than the worshipping stingy person." (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb. We do not know of it to be a Hadīth of Yahya bin Sa'eed from Al-A'raj, from Abū Hurairah, except through the narration of Sa'eed bin Muḥammad, and Sa'eed bin Muḥammad has been contradicted in the narration of this Hadīth from Yahya bin Sa'eed; it has only been reported from Yahya bin Sa'eed, from 'Aishah, as something that is Mursal.

Commentary
Generosity brings man close to Allāh and His mercy. It draws him close to Paradise and away from the Fire, and the virtue of generosity in him endears him to the people.
