what they were niggardly with, they shall have hung around their necks on the Day of Resurrection: in other words, He will make [all] that [bounty] a fetter around their necks and a cause for their confinement and privation from the spirit of God and His mercy, and a necessitating cause of their ignominy and their veiling from the light of His beauty because of their love of, and attachment to, it; and to God belongs the inheritance of the heavens and the earth, in terms of souls and their attributes, such as the faculties, powers, knowledge, properties and all that falls under the name of existent: how then can they be niggardly towards Him with what is His property?
