Hadith.1716 - The Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: "Nothing has eroded Islam as much as miserliness (shuhh)." He then added: "This miserliness creeps in like the creeping of ants and has branches like the branches of a net."
1716 - وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : «مَا مَحَقَ اَلْإِسْلاَمَ مَحْقَ اَلشُّحِّ شَيْءٌ » ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ لِهَذَا اَلشُّحِّ دَبِيباً كَدَبِيبِ اَلنَّمْلِ وَ شُعَباً كَشُعَبِ اَلشَّرَكِ ».
