English narration

Narrated by عبد الله بن مسعود

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do not wish to be like anyone except in two cases. (The first is) A person, whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it righteously; (the second is) the one whom Allah has given wisdom (the Holy Qur'an) and he acts according to it and teaches it to others." (Fath-al-Bari page 177 Vol. 1)

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَا حَدَّثَنَاهُ الزُّهْرِيُّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ قَيْسَ بْنَ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

لَا حَسَدَ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ ، رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا فَسُلِّطَ عَلَى هَلَكَتِهِ فِي الْحَقِّ ، وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ الْحِكْمَةَ فَهُوَ يَقْضِي بِهَا وَيُعَلِّمُهَا
