Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What does this "tamthil" mean...?
The Shaykh : This "tamthil" indicates that the pocket is in the chest.
The questioner : I mean, O Shaykh, like the generous person and the miser.
The Shaykh : Yes, if the generous person wants to give charity, Satan says to him, "If you give charity, you will become poor, your wealth will run out and decrease, and instead of seeing your wealth as ample and sufficient for charity, Satan comes and makes it feel narrow to him. As for the generous one, it is the opposite: if he wants to give charity, he is told, "You have not spent an expense except that Allah will replace it with something better and increase you, and matters will become easy for you, so charity becomes easy for him." Yes.
The questioner : Even if he is in need...
The Shaykh : Yes.
