Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #28119

Al-Hasan bin Arafa told us, Saeed bin Muhammad Al-Warraq told us, on the authority of Yahya bin Saeed, on the authority of Al-Araj, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. He said, “The generous person is close to God, close to Paradise, close to people, and far from Hell, and the stingy person is far from God.” Far from Paradise, far from people, close to Hell, and a generous ignorant person is more beloved to God Almighty than a stingy worshipper.” Abu Issa said this. A strange hadith that we do not know of the hadith of Yahya bin Saeed on the authority of Al-Araj on the authority of Abu Hurairah except from the hadith of Saeed bin Muhammad. Khalifa Saeed bin Muhammad in narrating this hadith on the authority of Yahya bin Saeed. It was only narrated on the authority of Yahya bin Saeed on the authority of Aisha, something mursal .
