1. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Qasem bin Muhammed al-Esbahani, from Sulayman bin Dawud al-Manqari, from Fudail bin ‘Ayyadh, that he said: Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, said: Do you know who the avaricious is? I said: Is he the stingy? He said: The avaricious is worse than the stingy.

He does not become satisfied, nor is he content, with what Allah, Exalted is He, has sustained him.
