«لا حسد إلا في اثنتين: رجل علمه الله القرآن فهو يتلوه آناء الليل وآناء النهار فسمعه جار له فقال: ليتني أوتيت مثل ما أوتي فلان فعملت مثل ما يعمل ورجل آتاه الله مالا فهو يهلكه في الحق فقال رجل: ليتني أوتيت مثل ما أوتي فلان فعملت مثل ما يعمل»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Envy is permissible only regarding two people: a man whom Allah has taught the Qur'an and he recites it during the hours of the night and the day; his neighbour hears him and says: 'If only I were given what so-and-so has been given, I would act as he acts.' And a man to whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the right way, and a man says: 'If only I were given what so-and-so has been given, I would act as he acts.'"
