حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ,
وَرَوْحٌ , الْمَعْنَى , قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ
سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ
ذَكْوَانَ ، عَنِ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ :
" لَا حَسَدَ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ : رَجُلٌ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ الْقُرْآنَ ، فَهُوَ يَتْلُوهُ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَآنَاءَ النَّهَارِ ، فَسَمِعَهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا لَيْتَنِي أُوتِيتُ مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَ هَذَا ، فَعَمِلْتُ فِيهِ مِثْلَ مَا يَعْمَلُ فِيهِ هَذَا ، وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا ، فَهُوَ يُهْلِكُهُ فِي الْحَقِّ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : يَا لَيْتَنِي أُوتِيتُ مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَ هَذَا ، فَعَمِلْتُ فِيهِ مِثْلَ مَا يَعْمَلُ فِيهِ هَذَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Envy is permissible only towards two persons: one is the person whom Allah has granted the wealth of the Qur'an, and he remains engaged in its recitation day and night; when another person sees him, he says, "If only I were granted wealth like this person, so I could act as he does." The second is the person whom Allah has granted wealth and riches, and he spends it in the way of truth; when another person sees him, he says, "If only I were granted wealth like this person, so I could act as he does."
