Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 18317a
"لَيسَ فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَدٌ إِلا فِي اثْنَتَينِ: الرَّجلُ يَحْسدُ الرَّجلَ أَنْ يعْطِيَه اللهُ الْمَال الْكثِير فَينْفقُ مِنْه فَيكْثِر النَّفَقَةَ، يَقُول الآخَر: لَوْ كانَ لِيَ مَالٌ مِثْلُ مَالِ هَذَا لأنفَقْتُ مِثْلَ مَا ينْفِقُ هَذَا وأحْسَنَ، فَهُو يحْسُده، وَرَجلٌ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرآن فيَقوم به بالليلِ وعِندَه رَجُل إِلى جَنبِهِ لا يَعْلمُ الْقُرآنَ، فَهُوَ يَحْسُدُه عَلَى قِيَامِه وَعَلى مَا عَلَّمهُ اللهُ الْقُرآنَ، فَيَقُولُ: لَو عَلَّمَنِى اللهُ مِثْلَ هَذَا لَقُمْتُ مِثْلَ مَا يَقُومُ".

"There is no envy in this world except in two: a man whom Allah has given abundant wealth, so he spends from it generously, and another says: 'If I had wealth like this man's, I would spend as he spends and do better,' so he envies him; and a man who recites the Quran and stands with it in the night, while beside him is a man who does not know the Quran, so he envies him for his standing in prayer and for what Allah has taught him of the Quran, and says: 'If Allah had taught me the like of this, I would stand as he stands.'"
