It was narrated that Abu Huraira said: The Messenger of Allah said: The parable of the one who spends and give in charity; and the one who is miserly; is that of two men wearing coats of mail; with their hands pressed closely to their breasts and their collarbones. When the one who spends wants to give charity; the coat of mail expends so much that it covers his fingertips and obliterates his traces. But when the miser wants to give; the coat of mail contracts and every ring grips the place where it is; and his hands are tied up to his collarbone.Abu Huraira says: I swear that he saw the Messenger trying to expand it but it did not. Tawus said: I heard Abu Huraira said: I heard Abu Huraira illustrating with his hand trying to expand it but it did not. Sahaih
