[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave me an example of this Ummah: There are four individuals. The first is a person to whom Allah has given knowledge and wealth, so he acts upon his knowledge in his wealth. The second is a person to whom Allah has given knowledge, but not wealth, so he says, "If Allah had given me what He gave to this person, I would have acted in the same way as he does." Their rewards are equal. The third is a person to whom Allah has given wealth, but not knowledge, so he uses his wealth in wrongful ways, without fearing Allah or maintaining family ties. The fourth is a person who has neither been given knowledge nor wealth, so he says, "If Allah had given me what He gave to this person, I would have acted in the same way as he does." They are equal in sin.
ضَرَبَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَثَلُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ أَرْبَعَةُ نَفَرٍ رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللهُ عِلْمًا وَمَالَا فَهُوَ يَعْمَلُ بِعِلْمِهِ فِي مَالِهِ وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللهُ عِلْمًا وَلَمْ يُؤْتِهِ مَالًا فَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَوْ آتَانِي اللهُ مِثْلَ مَا آتَى هَذَا لَعَمِلْتُ فِيهِ كَمَا يَعْمَلُ فَهُمَا فِي الْأَجْرِ سَوَاءٌ وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللهُ مَالًا وَلَمْ يُؤْتِهِ عِلْمًا فَسَلَّطَهُ عَلَى هَلَكَتِهِ فِي غَيْرِ الْحَقِّ لَا يَتَّقِي فِيهِ رَبًّا وَلَا يَصِلُ فِيهِ رَحِمًا وَرَجُلٌ لَمْ يُؤْتِهِ اللهُ عِلْمًا وَلَمْ يُؤْتِهِ مَالًا فَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَوْ آتَانِي اللهُ مِثْلَ مَا آتَى هَذَا لَعَمِلْتُ فِيهِ مِثْلَ مَا يَعْمَلُ فَهُمَا فِي الْوِزْرِ سَوَاءٌ
