Precious Fruits - We used to consider the stingy one among us to be the one who lends his brother a dirham
Al-Hasan al-Basri, may God have mercy on him, said: We used to consider the stingy one among us to be the one who lends his brother a dirham, when we dealt with participation and altruism. By God, one of those I saw and accompanied would tear his garment and give half of it to his brother, and keep what remained for himself.
