مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5078 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Envy (ghibtah)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : لَا حَسَدَ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ : رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللهُ مَالًا ، فَسَلَّطَهُ عَلَى هَلَكَتِهِ فِي الْحَقِّ ، وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللهُ الْحِكْمَةَ ، فَهُوَ يَقْضِي بِهَا ، وَيُعَلِّمُهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Envy (ghibtah) is permissible only in two cases: a man to whom Allah Almighty has given wealth and granted him full ability to spend it in the way of truth, and a man to whom Allah Almighty has granted knowledge and wisdom, so he judges by it and teaches it to others."
