God's Prophet (a.s) said: “A generous person is close to God, Heaven and the people, and is far away from the Fire (of Hell). A stingy person is far away from God, Heaven and the people, and is close to the Fire (of Hell).”
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): السخي قريب من الله، قريب من الجنة، قريب من الناس، بعيد من النار، والبخيل بعيد من الله، بعيد من الجنة، بعيد من الناس، قريب من النار.
