“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘There is no envy except in two cases. A man to whom Allah has given (knowledge of) the Qur’an, so he recites it night and day, and a man to whom Allah has given wealth, so he spends it night and day.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4209)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا حَسَدَ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللهُ مَالًا فَهُوَ يُنْفِقُهُ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَآنَاءَ النَّهَارِ وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللهُ قُرْآنًا فَهُوَ يَقُومُ بِهِ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَآنَاءَ النَّهَارِ  

nasai-kubra:8019Muḥammad b. al-Muthanná > Ibn Abū ʿAdī > Shuʿbah > Sulaymān > Dhakwān > Abū Hurayrah

Envy is not justified but in case of two persons only: one who, having been given (knowledge of) the Qur'an by Allah, recites it during the night and day (and also acts upon it) and a man who, having been given wealth by God, spends it during the night and the day (for the welfare of others. seeking the pleasure of the Lord). (Using translation from Muslim 815a)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا حَسَدَ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللهٌ الْقُرْآنَ فَهُوَ يَقُومُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللهُ مَالًا فَيُهْلِكُهُ فِي الْحَقِّ

[Machine] "I read Surah Al-Baqarah and I had a tied-up horse, and my son Yahya was lying close to me, and he was a little boy. The horse started to move around, so I got up and had no concern except for my son Yahya. Then the horse calmed down. I continued reading and the horse started moving again, so I got up and had no concern except for my son. I continued reading and the horse started moving again, so I raised my head and saw something resembling a shadow with lamps approaching from the sky, which frightened me, so I stopped reading. When morning came, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him. He said, 'Read, O Abu Yahya.' I said, 'I have already read; the horse started moving and I had no concern except for my son.' He said, 'Read, O son of Hudhayr.' I said, 'I have already read and lifted my head, and I saw something resembling a shadow with lamps, which frightened me.' He said, 'Those were angels who came near to your voice, and if you had continued reading, people would have been able to see them.'"
