Abdullah bin Muhammad (Musnadi) told us that Abu Amir narrated to us that Ibrahim bin Nafi' told us. Ibrahim narrated from Hasan (bin Muslim), Hasan from Tawus, Tawus from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra). He said: The Messenger of Allah (saw) gave the example of the miser and the one who gives charity as two men wearing two cloaks of iron which hold their hands fastened to their chests and collarbones. Whenever the generous one gives charity, the cloak widens over him until it covers the fingers of his hands and (becomes so long that) it wipes out his footprints behind him. And whenever the miser intends to give charity, the garment shrinks even more and every ring clings to its place. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra) said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (saw) pointing with his finger at the opening of his own shirt, saying: “If only you could see it: he tries to widen it, but it does not widen.” (Like Hasan bin Muslim) Ibn Tawus also narrated this hadith from his father, and Abuz Zinad narrated it from A'raj; in it too is the word jubbatan (two cloaks).
