Riyad as-Saliheen 1377
Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet ﷺ said, "Envy is permitted only in two cases: A man whom Allah gives wealth, and he disposes of it rightfully, and a man to whom Allah gives knowledge which he applies and teaches it."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ:
"لا حسد إلا في اثنتين: رجل آتاه الله مالا فسلطه على هلكته في الحق، ورجل آتاه الله الحكمة فهو يقضي بها ويعلمها" ((متفق عليه))
