[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The likeness of a miser and a spendthrift is like a man with two iron collars around his necks, reaching down to his chest. As for the spendthrift, he does not spend from them unless they stretch beyond the place they belong. And as for the miser, it does not increase on him except in tightness."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَثَلُ الْبَخِيلِ وَالْمُنْفِقِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا جُبَّتَانِ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ مِنْ لَدُنْثُدِيِّهِمَا إِلَى تَرَاقِيهِمَا فَأَمَّا الْمُنْفِقُ فَلَا يُنْفِقُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا اتَّسَعَتْ حَلَقَةٌ مَكَانَهَا فَهُوَ يُوَسِّعُهَا عَلَيْهِ وَأَمَّا الْبَخِيلُ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَزْدَادُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا اسْتِحْكَامًا
