أَبِي كَبْشَةَ الْأَنْمَارِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" مَثَلُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ مَثَلُ أَرْبَعَةِ نَفَرٍ : رَجُلٍ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا وَعِلْمًا ، فَهُوَ يَعْمَلُ بِهِ فِي مَالِهِ يُنْفِقُهُ فِي حَقِّهِ ، وَرَجُلٍ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ عِلْمًا وَلَمْ يُؤْتِهِ مَالًا ، فَهُوَ يَقُولُ : لَوْ كَانَ لِي مِثْلُ مَالِ هَذَا ، عَمِلْتُ فِيهِ مِثْلَ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ " . قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " فَهُمَا فِي الْأَجْرِ سَوَاءٌ . وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا وَلَمْ يُؤْتِهِ عِلْمًا ، فَهُوَ يَخْبِطُ فِيهِ يُنْفِقُهُ فِي غَيْرِ حَقِّهِ ، وَرَجُلٌ لَمْ يُؤْتِهِ اللَّهُ مَالًا وَلَا عِلْمًا ، فَهُوَ يَقُولُ : لَوْ كَانَ لِي مَالٌ مِثْلُ هَذَا ، عَمِلْتُ فِيهِ مِثْلَ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ " قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " فَهُمَا فِي الْوِزْرِ سَوَاءٌ " . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Kabsha Anmari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The example of this Ummah is like four types of people. One is the person whom Allah has blessed with wealth and knowledge; he acts upon his knowledge regarding his wealth and spends it in its rightful places. The second is the person whom Allah has granted knowledge but not wealth, and he says, "If I had wealth, I would act upon my knowledge like that person." These two are equal in reward. The third is the person whom Allah has blessed with wealth but not knowledge; he spends it recklessly in wrongful places. And the fourth is the person whom Allah has neither blessed with wealth nor knowledge, and he says, "If I had wealth like that person, I would spend it in the same way as he does." These two are equal in sin. The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.
