Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَرَوْحٌ الْمَعْنَى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ ذَكْوَانَ عَنِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا حَسَدَ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ رَجُلٌ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَهُوَ يَتْلُوهُ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَآنَاءَ النَّهَارِ فَسَمِعَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا لَيْتَنِي أُوتِيتُ مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَ هَذَا فَعَمِلْتُ فِيهِ مِثْلَ مَا يَعْمَلُ فِيهِ هَذَا وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا فَهُوَ يُهْلِكُهُ فِي الْحَقِّ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا لَيْتَنِي أُوتِيتُ مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَ هَذَا فَعَمِلْتُ فِيهِ مِثْلَ مَا يَعْمَلُ فِيهِ هَذَا حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا حَسَدَ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ سَوَاءً.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far and Rawh told us — the meaning being the same — they said: Shu'bah told us, from Sulayman, from Dhakwan, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he said: "There is no envy permissible except in two cases: a man to whom Allah has given the Qur'an, and he recites it throughout the night and throughout the day, so a man hears him and says: 'Would that I had been given what this man has been given, so that I might do as he does'; and a man to whom Allah has given wealth, and he spends it in the cause of truth, so a man says: 'Would that I had been given what this man has been given, so that I might do as he does.'" Yahya ibn Adam told us: Yazid ibn Abd al-Aziz told us, from al-A'mash, from Abu Salih, from Abu Sa'id, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no envy except in two cases," and he mentioned the same, exactly.
