b. Living the Qur’an

٨٥. عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:

«لَا حَسَدَ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ: رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللّٰهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَهُوَ يَقُومُ بِهِ آنَاءَ اللَّيلِ وَآنَاءَ النَّهَارِ وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللّٰهُ مَالًا فَهُوَ يُنْفِقُهُ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَآنَاءَ النَّهَارِ».

85. Ibn Umar (r.a.) reported that the Prophet (pbuh) said:

“Do not envy, except two kinds of people:

First, a man whom Allah has given the knowledge of the Book and he recites and practices it during the hours of the night and the hours of the day, and, second, a man whom Allah has given wealth, and he spends it in charity during the night and the hours of the day.” (Muslim, Musafirin, 266, 267.
