Prophet Muhammad SAW reminded his people to stay away from two sources of destruction. And this has been clearly proven in the history of human life. The two things are azhulm (treachery) and as-syuhh (stingy). From Jabir Ibn Abdillah RA that the Prophet SAW said, "Stay away from wrongdoing, because injustice will bring darkness on the Day of Resurrection. And stay away from miserliness (syuhhh) and greed, because he has destroyed the people before you. He has encouraged them to shed their own brother's blood and justify their honor." (HR. Muslim)

The Messenger of Allah (saw) loved his ummah very much, so he warned his ummah to stay away from these two bad qualities. It is a very dangerous sin, especially injustice to others, and even more so to the weak.

So is stinginess. According to some scholars there is a difference between bukhl and shuhh. Syuhh is the ultimate miser or very stingy. Some scholars say syuhh is a stingy person who is accompanied by greed or greed. There are also those who say that the syuhh is wider, and bukhl is a part of the syuhh.

So syuhh is stingy in a broad sense. There are also those who argue that if bukhl is stingy in matters of property only. While syuhh stingy in matters of wealth as well as other virtues.

Know that new treasures are called useful and blessed assets and become investments in the hereafter, if at a time of health and wellness he spends in the way of Allah, such as building mosques and Islamic boarding schools or giving alms to the poor and needy people. That is the treasure that belongs to him. Because that is a treasure that is valuable in the sight of Allah SWT.

On the other hand, people who only look for treasures and then accumulate them themselves will lose greatly. The punishment of those who are stingy is likened to the punishment of the disbelievers. As mentioned in the Qur'an, "(namely) those who are stingy, and tell others to be stingy, and hide the bounty of Allah which He has bestowed upon them. And verily Allah has provided for the disbelievers a painful chastisement." (Surah An-Nisa': 36)

Saving the base of the real rich is saving by donating or donating his wealth in goodness. As for money that is only saved or saved it will be detrimental, not bring benefits to us, especially in the hereafter. (*)
