Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 28293 — Reports on envy

Abu Ishaq said that Amr bin Maymun said: When Allah, the Lord of Might honoured Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) by raising him for intimate converse, he saw a man clinging to the Throne. He asked: "O my Lord! Who is this person?" Allah, the Lord of Might said: "He is a righteous servant among My servants. If you wish, shall I tell you about his deeds?" He submitted: "O my Lord! Tell me." Allah, the Lord of Might said: "This person did not envy people for what Allah Almighty had given them of His bounty."
