And as for the one who is miserly with his wealth and does not spend it in the avenues necessary for him to spend in, thinking himself to be in no need of Allah and not asking Allah for any of His grace.
But as for the one who is miserly and deems himself self-sufficient,
But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient.2
[2] (V.92:8) Narrated ‘Alî رضي الله عنه : We were in the company of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and he said, "There is none among you but has his place written for him, either in Paradise or in the Hell-fire." We said, "O Allâh’s Messenger! Shall we depend (on this fact and give up work)?" He replied, "No! Carry on doing good deeds, for everybody will find easy (to do) such deeds as will lead him to his destined place." Then the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم recited: "As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allâh and fears Him, and believes in Al-Husnâ. We will make smooth for him the path of ease..." (V.92: 5-10) (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadith No.472).
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
And as for him who is miserly, and thinks himself self-sufficient,
