1964. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The believer is naively noble and the stingy person is deceitfully treacherous."[3] (Da'if) [1] One who reminds others of what he has given to them. [2] See no. 290 of Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim. [3] See Aṣ-Ṣaḥīḥah no. 935 where is was graded Hasan due to other routes of narration. [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it except from this route.

Arabic text

١٩٦٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، عَنْ ‌بِشْرِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ ‌يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْمُؤْمِنُ غِرٌّ» كَرِيمٌ، وَالْفَاجِرُ خِبٌّ لَئِيمٌ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ. لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

Commentary

A true believer is simple and kind-hearted, therefore, liable to be deceived because of his gentlemanly belief in others. An evil person, on the other hand, is deceitful and cunning, and hence stingy and vile.
