It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Envy is permissible only towards two men: one whom Allah has granted wealth and he spends from it during the hours of the day, and the other whom He has given this Qur'an, and he stands with it during the hours of the night and the hours of the day."
