Sunan an-Nasai 3111 (Book 25, Hadith 27) #17723
Stinginess and Faith Cannot Coexist

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that a person cannot be stingy and faithful at the same time.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said: "The dust in the cause of Allah and the smoke of Hell will never be combined in a man's face, and stinginess and faith can never be combined in a slave's heart".
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ اللَّجْلاَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَجْتَمِعُ غُبَارٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَدُخَانُ جَهَنَّمَ فِي وَجْهِ رَجُلٍ أَبَدًا وَلاَ يَجْتَمِعُ الشُّحُّ وَالإِيمَانُ فِي قَلْبِ عَبْدٍ أَبَدًا

Have faith in Allah , Trust His plans , Be generous .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that it is impossible for a person to be both stingy and faithful at the same time. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) taught that these two qualities cannot coexist in one's heart. Being stingy means being unwilling to give or share, while faith is believing in something without any doubt or hesitation. Therefore, if someone has faith, they will not be hesitant to give or share with others as they trust Allah's plan for them. On the other hand, if someone is stingy, then they do not have faith as they are unwilling to put their trust in Allah's plan for them. This hadith also reminds us of the importance of having faith in Allah and His plans for us so we can live our lives with generosity instead of being selfish and greedy.
