Sayyiduna Salim narrates from his father Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he said: "Envy is not permissible except for two men: one to whom Allah has given the Qur'an and he recites it day and night (and acts upon it); the other is the one to whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it (in the way of Allah) day and night."
