Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ وَأَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْمُزَكِّي قَالَ أنبأ الْقَاضِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ كَامِلِ بْنِ خَلَفٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْعُوفِيُّ ثنا رَوْحٌ ثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَعْمَشِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ذَكْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا حَسَدَ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ رَجُلٌ عَلَّمَهُ اللهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَهُوَ يَتْلُوهُ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَآنَاءَ النَّهَارِ فَسَمِعَهُ جَارٌ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَيْتَنِي أُوتِيتُ مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَ فُلَانٌ فَعَمِلْتُ مِثْلَ مَا يَعْمَلُ وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللهُ مَالًا فَهُوَ يُهْلِكُهُ فِي الْحَقِّ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا لَيْتَنِي أُوتِيتُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي أُوتِيَ فُلَانٌ فَعَمِلْتُ مِثْلَ مَا يَعْمَلُ
English Translation
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'There is no envy except in two cases: a man whom Allah has taught the Quran and he recites it during the hours of the night and day, and a neighbor hears him and says: "Would that I had been given what so-and-so has been given, so that I could do what he does." And a man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the cause of truth, and another man says: "Would that I had been given what so-and-so has been given, so that I could do what he does."'
