"لاَ حَسدَ إِلَّا عَلَى اثْنَتَيْنِ: رَجُلٌ أَعْطَاهُ الله القُرْآنَ فَهُوَ يَقرَأُ بِهِ في اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ، وَرَجُلٌ أَعْطَاهُ الله مَالًا فَأَنْفَقَهُ في سَبِيلِ الله".

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allahﷺ that he said: "Indeed, envy is only felt towards the one who is envied, or as Allah wills that one may say about two qualities of a man: one to whom Allah the Almighty has given the Quran, and he recites it day and night, and a man to whom Allah has given wealth, and he spends it."  

أحمد:٦١٦٧حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ أَخْبَرَنِي صَالِحُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ أَنَّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ نَافِعًا أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا يُحْسَدُ مَنْ يُحْسَدُ أَوْ كَمَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ عَلَى خَصْلَتَيْنِ رَجُلٌ أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى الْقُرْآنَ فَهُوَ يَقُومُ بِهِ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَرَجُلٌ أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ مَالًا فَهُوَ يُنْفِقُهُ

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)

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 during the day (and acts upon it), and the person who, having been given wealth by God, gives it in charity during the night and the day. (Using translation from Muslim 815b)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا حَسَدَ إِلَّا عَلَى اثْنَتَيْنِ رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ هَذَا الْكِتَابَ فَقَامَ بِهِ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَرَجُلٌ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَآنَاءَ النَّهَارِ»

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "There is no envy except in two people: a man whom Allah has taught the Quran, who recites it during the night and day, and a man to whom Allah has given wealth, and he spends it during the night and day."

[Machine] It was narrated from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said: "Verily, the one who envies is only envying the two characteristics of a man: the one to whom Allah has given the Quran, so he recites it during the night and day, and the one to whom Allah has given wealth, so he spends it."
