And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will be the successful.

ومن يوق شُح نفسه فأولئك هم المفلحون

[Al-Hashr 59:9]

And as for the hadiths, from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

Be on your guard against committing oppression, for oppression is a darkness on the Day of Resurrection, and be on your guard against stinginess for stinginess destroyed those who were before you, as it incited them to shed blood and make lawful what was unlawful for them.

اتقوا الظلم، فإن الظلم ظلمات يوم القيامة ، واتقوا الشح ، فإن الشح أهلك من كان قبلكم، حملهم على أن سفكوا دماءهم واستحلوا محارمهم
