٣٢٢٨٧ - حدثنا سفيان بن عيينة عن الزهري عن سالم عن أبيه عن النبي ﷺ قال: "لا حسد إلا في اثنتين: رجل أتاه اللَّه مالًا، فهو ينفقه آناء الليل وآناء النهار، ورجل علمه اللَّه القرآن فهو يقوم به آناء الليل وآناء النهار" (١).
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Envy is not permissible except regarding two persons: one to whom Allah has given wealth, and he spends it for the pleasure of Allah during the hours of the night and the hours of the day; and the other whom Allah has taught the Qur'an, and he recites it during the hours of the night and the hours of the day."
٣٢٢٨٨ - حدثنا يحيى بن آدم قال: حدثنا يزيد بن عبد العزيز عن الأعمش عن أبي صالح عن أبي سعيد قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "لا حسد إلا في اثنتين: رجل أتاه اللَّه القرآن فهو يتلوه آناء الليل وآناء النهار، فيقول الرجل: لو آتاني اللَّه مثل ما أتى (فلانًا) (١) فعلت مثل ما يفعل، ورجل أتاه اللَّه مالًا فهو ينفقه في حقه فيقول الرجل: لو آتاني اللَّه مثل ما أتى (فلانًا) (٢) فعلت مثل ما يفعل" (٣).
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.'"
