وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَنَا لَيْسَ فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَدٌ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَيْنِ الرَّجُلِ يَحْسُدُ الرَّجُلَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ اللهُ الْمَالَ الْكَثِيرَ فَيُنْفِقَ مِنْهُ فَيُكْثِرَ النَّفَقَةَ يَقُولُ الْآخَرُ لَوْ كَانَ لِي مِثْلَ هَذَا لَأَنْفَقْتُ مِثْلَ مَا يُنْفِقُ وَأَحْسَنَ فَهُوَ يَحْسُدُهُ وَرَجُلٍ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ فَيَقُومُ بِهِ اللَّيْلَ وَعِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ لَا يَعْلَمُ الْقُرْآنَ فَهُوَ يَحْسُدُهُ عَلَى قِيَامِهِ وَعَلَى مَا عَلَّمَهُ اللهُ ﷻ الْقُرْآنَ فَيَقُولُ لَوْ عَلَّمَنِيَ اللهُ مِثْلَ هَذَا لَقُمْتُ مِثْلَ مَا يَقُومُ
Translation
Chain of narrators
- Samurah
✧ The Prophet ﷺ used to say to us: There is no envy in this world except in two cases: a man who envies another man because God has given him abundant wealth, and he spends from it and increases his spending, so the other says, 'If I had the like of this, I would spend the like of what he spends and do better,' so he envies him. And a man who recites the Quran and stands with it at night, while beside him is a man who does not know the Quran, so he envies him for his standing and for what God ﷻ has taught him of the Quran, and he says, 'If God had taught me the like of this, I would stand the like of what he stands.'
