Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1712 — from the Prophet ﷺ that he ﷺ said: There
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ قَالَ : نَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ قَالَ : نَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ نُصَيْرٍ الطَّائِيُّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ . عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ - رَفَعَ الْحَدِيثَ - قَالَ : لَا حَسَدَ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ : رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللهُ مَالًا ، فَسَلَّطَهُ عَلَى هَلَكَتِهِ فِي الْحَقِّ ، وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللهُ حِكْمَةً ، فَهُوَ يَعْمَلُ بِهَا وَيُعَلِّمُهَا .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no envy (ghibtah, i.e. praiseworthy emulation) except in two cases: a man whom Allah has given wealth and has empowered him to spend it in the way of truth (that is, granted him the ability to spend it generously), and a man whom Allah has given wisdom, so he acts according to it and teaches it to others."
