The Book of Virtues

Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Envy is justified in regard to two types of persons only: a man whom Allah has given knowledge of the Qur'an, and so he recites it during the night and during the day; and a man whom Allah has given wealth and so he spends from it during the night and during the day." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.

ARABIC

وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما‏:‏ عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ‏:‏‏

‏ لا حسد إلا في اثنتين‏:‏ رجل آتاه الله القرآن، فهو يقوم به آناء الليل وآناء النهار، ورجل آتاه الله مالا، فهو ينفقه آناء الليل وآناء النهارِ‏
