[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The likeness of the hypocrite and the miser is like that of two men who have two gardens or two fields of iron from under their breasts until their throats. When the hypocrite intends to spend, his armor tightens and it tears his sides until it grasps his neck or his collarbone. And when the miser intends to spend, it contracts upon him and its every ring binds its place until it grasps his neck or his collarbone." The Prophet ﷺ said, "It expands it but it does not become spacious even once. It was narrated from Abu Abdullah Al-Haafiz, Abu Zakariyya ibn Abi Ishaq, and others who said that Abu Al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub narrated from Ar-Rabi' ibn Sulayman who narrated from Ash-Shafi'i who narrated from Sufyan ibn Uyaynah who mentioned it with a similar chain of narrators except that he said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'It expands it but it does not become spacious even once.'" Sufyan ibn Uyaynah also narrated from Ibn Juraij from Al-Hasan ibn Muslim from Tawus from Abu Hurairah who narrated from the Prophet ﷺ a similar hadith except that he said, "It expands it but it does not become spacious."
