Sulayman ibn Ubayd Allah Abu Ayyub al-Ghaylani narrated to me, Abu Amir—meaning al-Aqadi—narrated to us, Ibrahim ibn Nafi' narrated to us, from al-Hasan ibn Muslim, from Tawus, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, gave an example of the miser and the charitable giver as two men wearing two coats of iron with their hands pressed tightly to their chests and collarbones. Whenever the charitable giver gave in charity, his coat expanded over him until it covered his fingertips and erased his footprints. And whenever the miser intended to give in charity, his coat contracted, and every ring clung to its place. Abu Hurayrah said: I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, gesturing with his finger in his collar—if you had seen him trying to widen it, but it would not widen.
