Sunan an-Nasai 3110 (Book 25, Hadith 26) #17722
Combining Stinginess and Faith

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that a person cannot have both faith and stinginess in their heart.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'The dust in the cause of Allah and the smoke of Hell will never be combined in the lungs of a slave, and the stinginess and faith can never be combined in a slave's heart".
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ بْنِ اللَّجْلاَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَجْتَمِعُ غُبَارٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَدُخَانُ جَهَنَّمَ فِي جَوْفِ عَبْدٍ أَبَدًا وَلاَ يَجْتَمِعُ الشُّحُّ وَالإِيمَانُ فِي قَلْبِ عَبْدٍ أَبَدًا

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us an important lesson about the human heart. He said that it is impossible for a person to have both faith and stinginess in their heart at the same time. This means that if someone has faith in Allah and His teachings, they will not be stingy with what they have been given by Allah. They will use it to help others who are less fortunate than them or to do good deeds for the sake of Allah. On the other hand, if someone is stingy with what they have been given by Allah then this shows that they do not truly believe in Him or His teachings as much as they should. This hadith teaches us to always strive for balance between our faith and our actions so we can live a life pleasing to Allah.
