Abu Haraira reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave similitudes of a miserly man and the giver of charity as two persons who have two coats-of-mail over them with their hands pressed closely to their breasts and their collar bones. Whenever the giver of charity gives charity it the coat-of mail expands so much as to cover his finger tips and obliterate his foot prints. And whenever the miserly person intends to give charity the coat-of-mail contracts and every ring grips the place where it is. He Abu Huraira said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying with fingers in the opening of his shirt: If you had seen him trying to expand it; it will not expand.
