God says
And they should not think – they who niggardly cling to all that God has granted them out of His bounty – that this is good for them: nay. It is bad for them.* That to which they [so] niggardly cling will, on the Day of Resurrection, be hung about their necks: for unto God [alone] belongs the heritage of the heavens and of the earth; and God is aware of all that you do. -- Q.3:180
* This is an allusion to the way of life of the unbelievers mentioned in the earlier verse 3: 179: a way or life characterized by extreme attachment to the material things of this world – a materialism based on a lack of belief in anything that transcends the practical problem of life.
[God loves not] those who are niggardly or enjoin niggardliness on others, or hide the bounties which God has bestowed on them… Q.4:37
Make not your hand tied [like a niggard’s] to your neck… Q.17:29
