00:00:00,850 --> 00:00:03,850
A verse and its Tafsir.

2
00:00:03,850 --> 00:00:07,519
Allah the Exalted says:

3
00:00:07,519 --> 00:00:13,519
“Who hoard their wealth and enjoin avarice on others, and hide that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty. For disbelievers We prepare a shameful doom;” (4:37)

4
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:18,219
Ibn Kathir, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

5
00:00:18,219 --> 00:00:21,219
Stinginess is a denial of the blessings of Allah.

6
00:00:21,219 --> 00:00:24,219
It neither appears upon a person nor is it evident,

7
00:00:24,219 --> 00:00:27,219
Neither in his food nor in his clothing,

8
00:00:27,219 --> 00:00:30,219
Nor in his giving and his generosity.

9
00:00:30,219 --> 00:00:32,219
Just as the Exalted says:

10
00:00:32,219 --> 00:00:36,219
"Indeed, mankind is, to his Lord, ungrateful."

11
00:00:36,219 --> 00:00:40,219
“And lo! he is a witness unto that;” (100:7)

12
00:00:40,219 --> 00:00:43,219
Meaning, through his state and his characteristics.

13
00:00:43,219 --> 00:00:47,219
For the stingy person conceals the blessing of Allah, hides it, and denies it.

14
00:00:47,219 --> 00:00:50,219
Thus, he is ungrateful for the blessings.
