مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5186 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Envy
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : لَا حَسَدَ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ : رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللهُ مَالًا فَسَلَّطَهُ عَلَى هَلَكَتِهِ فِي الْحَقِّ ، وَآخَرَ آتَاهُ اللهُ الْحِكْمَةَ ، فَهُوَ يَقْضِي بِهَا وَيُعَلِّمُهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Envy (praiseworthy envy, i.e. emulation) is permissible only in two cases: a man to whom Allah Almighty has given wealth and has then granted him full ability to spend it and give it away in the way of truth; and another man to whom Allah Almighty has granted wisdom, so he judges by it and teaches it to people."
