סנהדרין פד

The מגיד מדובנה was collecting צדקה for an important cause.  He solicited a very wealthy but miserly man, who offered one excuse after another but refused to give him any money.  “You will merit a very special place in עולם הבא,” the מגיד said to him.  Surprised, the miser asked “How is that?”  The מגיד responded: “Another Jew, even wealthier than you, succeeded in taking all his money with him to עולם האמת.  He was asked, “Why didn’t you give צדקה?”  That Jew’s response was that he was concerned that people are not worthy so he decided to bring his wealth to the עולם האמת and distribute it there. They told that Jew that his place is next to קורח, who also came with all his wealth.  And when you arrive there, you will be a third for מזומן.”
