Sahih al-Bukhari 5571 (Book 77, Hadith 15)
men wearing two iron cloaks and their hands are raised to their breasts and necks. Whenever the
charitable man tries to give a charitable gift, his iron cloak expands till it becomes so wide that it will
cover his fingertips and obliterate his tracks And, whenever the miser wants to give a charitable gift,
his cloak becomes very tight over him and every ring gets stuck to its place Abu Huraira added; I saw
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) putting his finger in the (chest) pocket of his shirt like that If you but saw him trying
to widen (the opening of his shirt) but it did not widen.
