Bayān Talbīs al-JahmiyyaIbn Taimiya

Allah will judge first on the Day of Resurrection:

“And a man whom Allah had granted abundance and given every kind of wealth. He will be brought forward, and Allah will remind him of His blessings, which he will acknowledge. He will ask, ‘What did you do with them?’ He will reply, ‘I left no cause in which You love wealth to be spent without spending in it for Your sake.’ He will say, ‘You have lied! Rather, you did so that people would say, “He is generous,” and that has been said.’ Then orders will be given concerning him, and he will be dragged on his face into the Fire.”

This authentic hadith shows that describing someone as jawād is like describing him as karīm: both mean “generous,” as Abū ʿAmr stated.
