The Misers! Those who Conceal Allaah’s Bounties

The Misers- Those Who Conceal Allaah’s Bounties!

{الَّذِينَ يَبْخَلُونَ وَيَأْمُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالْبُخْلِ وَيَكْتُمُونَ مَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ ۗ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَذَابًا مُّهِينًا} [النساء : 37

“Those who are miserly and enjoin miserliness on other men and hide what Allaah has bestowed upon them of His Bounties” [4:37]

Imaam Sadi (rahimahullaah ) said: They refrain from fulfilling the rights obligated on them. “And enjoin miserliness on other men” through their statements and actions. “And hide what Allaah has bestowed upon them of His Bounties” – that is knowledge by way of which the astray are guided and the ignorant are led aright. So they hide it from them and make falsehood apparent to them.
