[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "There will come a time upon people when they will envy a person for his modesty, just as they envy him today for his wealth and children. So much so that one of you will pass by the grave of his brother and wish that he were in his place. There is no yearning for Allah or righteous deeds that he has done, except for what he is afflicted with."  

الطبراني:٩٧٧٧حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ أنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَحْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ تَغْبِطُونَ فِيهِ الرَّجُلَ بِخِفَّةِ الْحَاذِ كَمَا تَغْبِطُونَهُ الْيَوْمَ بِكَثْرَةِ الْمَالِ وَالْوَلَدِ حَتَّى يَمُرَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِقَبْرِ أَخِيهِ فَيَتَمَعَّكَ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا تَتَمَعَّكُ الدَّابَّةُ فِي مَرَاعِهَا وَيَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي مَكَانَهُ مَا بِهِ شَوْقٌ إِلَى اللهِ وَلَا عَمِلَ صَالِحًا قَدَّمَهُ إِلَّا مِمَّا يَنْزِلُ بِهِ مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ

"لَيَأتِيَنَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ (يَغْبِطُوُنَ فِيهِ الرَّجُلَ بخِفَّةِ الحَاذِ) كَمَا يَغْبِطُونَه الْيَوْمَ بكَثْرَةِ الْمَالِ وَالْوَلَدِ، حَتَّى يَمُرَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِقَبْرِ أَخِيهِ (فَيَتَمَعَّكَ عَلَيهِ كما تتمعكُ الدابة في مَرَاغها ويقول: يا) ليتنى مكانه، مَا بِه شَوْقٌ إِلى الله ولا عملٌ صَالِحٌ قَدَّمه إِلا مِمَّا يَنْزِلُ بِهِ (من البلاءِ) ".
