Sahih al-Bukhari 6056 (Book 78, Hadith 86) #5815
Stinginess Leads to Perdition

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ warned that those who are stingy will not enter Paradise.

Narrated Hudhaifa: I heard the Prophet saying, "A Qattat will not enter Paradise".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ حُذَيْفَةَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ رَجُلاً يَرْفَعُ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ قَتَّاتٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith warns us of the consequences of being stingy. It is narrated by Hudhaifa, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, that he heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "A Qattat will not enter Paradise". The Arabic word 'Qattat' means someone who is excessively stingy and does not spend in charity or on others even when they have enough money to do so. This hadith teaches us that if we are too tight-fisted with our wealth and do not use it for good causes such as helping those in need or giving charity, then we will be punished for it in the hereafter and will be denied entry into paradise. We should therefore strive to be generous with our wealth and use it for good deeds so that we can earn Allah's pleasure and gain entry into paradise.
