Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32288 — Those who said: envy is

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Envy is not permissible except regarding two men: one whom Allah has granted the ability to recite the Qur'an, and he recites it day and night, and then a man says: 'If Allah had granted me the recitation of the Qur'an as He has granted it to so-and-so, I too would do just as so-and-so recites.' And the other is a man to whom Allah has given wealth, and he spends that wealth in its rightful way, and then a man says: 'If Allah had given me wealth as He has given to so-and-so, I too would do just as so-and-so spends.'"
