Hadith.1707 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "The best among you are the generous ones, and the worst among you are the stingy ones. A sign of true faith is kindness toward brothers and striving to fulfill their needs. Indeed, the one who is kind to their brothers is loved by the Most Merciful. Such kindness humiliates Satan, distances one from the fires of Hell, and grants entrance to Paradise." Imam (as) then said to Jamil: "O Jamil, share this with the noble of your companions." I said: "May I be your ransom, who are the noble of my companions?" Imam (as) replied: "They are those who are kind to their brothers in both ease and hardship." Then Imam (as) said: "O Jamil, indeed, for the wealthy, it is easier to do this. However, Allah (swt) the Exalted has praised the one with little who gives despite their own need. Allah (swt) has said in His Book: And they give preference over themselves, even though they are in privation. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul – it is they who will be successful' (Surah Al-Hashr 59:9)."
