حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ ، سَمِعْتُ ذَكْوَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا حَسَدَ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ : رَجُلٌ عَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَهُوَ يَتْلُوهُ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَآنَاءَ النَّهَارِ ، فَسَمِعَهُ جَارٌ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : لَيْتَنِي أُوتِيتُ مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَ فُلَانٌ فَعَمِلْتُ مِثْلَ مَا يَعْمَلُ ، وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا فَهُوَ يُهْلِكُهُ فِي الْحَقِّ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : لَيْتَنِي أُوتِيتُ مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَ فُلَانٌ فَعَمِلْتُ مِثْلَ مَا يَعْمَلُ " .
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle I said, "Not to wish to be the like of except two men: A man whom Allah has taught the Qur'an and he recites it during the hours of the night and during the hours of the day, and his neighbor listens to him and says, 'I wish I had been given what has been given to so-and-so, so that I might do what he does; and a man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it on what is just and right, whereupon an other man May say, 'I wish I had been given what so-and-so has been given, for then I would do what he does."

Maulana Dawood Raz
Hadith Commentary:
Its explanation has already passed in the Book of Knowledge. "Rashk" means to desire the blessing that Allah has given to another; this is permissible, but "hasad" (envy) is not permissible.
Hasad is to wish for the removal of another’s blessing.
Hasad is a very evil disease that consumes a person and all his good deeds like a moth.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
In these ahadith, "hasad" (envy) is used in the sense of "rashk" (emulation). The difference between the two is that in "hasad," there is a desire for the blessing possessed by another person to be taken away from him, whereas in "rashk," there is no wish for the blessing present with the other person to be removed; rather, the desire is that such a blessing should also be granted to oneself.
In the hadith narrated from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud radi Allahu anhu, it is stated that the person worthy of emulation is the one whom Allah Ta'ala has endowed with wisdom and understanding; he judges according to it and teaches it to the people.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-‘Ilm, Hadith 73)
➋
In any case, Imam al-Bukhari rahimahullah, through the aforementioned heading, has indicated that in the hadith, "hasad" is used in the sense of "rashk," and it has been expressed as "hasad" by way of emphasis.
That is, apart from the Qur'an and wealth, nothing else is worthy of emulation.
As if to say, only these two things are worthy of emulation, and Allah knows best.
➌
Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah writes that both the Qur'an and wealth are such things that, even if their acquisition is not possible without some blameworthy means, they should still be sought.
And when it is possible to acquire them through good means, then one should strive even harder to obtain them.
(Fath al-Bari: 9/92)
He has used "hasad" in its original meaning.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
In this hadith, the word "layta" is not used regarding the Noble Qur'an, which is specific for expressing wish and longing, nor is there any mention of knowledge. However, Imam Bukhari rahimahullah, according to his usual practice, has alluded to other narrations. Thus, in one narration it is stated:
"When the companion of the Qur'an recites the Qur'an, his neighbor, after listening to the recitation, says: 'If only I too could be granted the blessing of the Qur'an as he has been granted.'"
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Virtues of the Qur'an, Hadith: 5026)
In this narration, the word "layta" is used, which is specific for expressing a wish.
A similar narration is also reported from Abdullah ibn Umar radi Allahu anhuma.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Virtues of the Qur'an, Hadith: 5025)
➋
Although knowledge is not mentioned in this hadith, Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has alluded to another hadith, which is narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud radi Allahu anhu, that a person who has been given wisdom judges by it and teaches it to the people.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Knowledge, Hadith: 73)
In this hadith, "wisdom" refers to knowledge; thus, Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has established the title of "knowledge" for this hadith.
