Sahih al-Bukhari 7529 (Book 97, Hadith 154) #7231
Admiring Knowledge & Wealth Used for Good

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that the only two people to be admired and wished to be like are those who have been given knowledge of the Qur'an and recite it regularly, and those who have been given wealth and spend it in Allah's cause.

Narrated Salim's father: The Prophet said, "Not to wish to be the like of except the like of two (persons): a man whom Allah has given the knowledge of the Qur'an and he recites it during the hours of the night and the hours of the day; and a man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it (in Allah's Cause) during the hours of the night and during the hours of the day".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ حَسَدَ إِلاَّ فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَهْوَ يَتْلُوهُ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَآنَاءَ النَّهَارِ، وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالاً فَهْوَ يُنْفِقُهُ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَآنَاءَ النَّهَارِ ‏"‏‏.‏ سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ مِرَارًا لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ يَذْكُرُ الْخَبَرَ وَهْوَ مِنْ صَحِيحِ حَدِيثِهِ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Admire those who use their knowledge or resources for good causes.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that we should admire two types of people - those who have been blessed with knowledge of the Qur'an, and use their time to recite it during both day and night; as well as those who have been blessed with wealth, but use their money in Allah's cause. It is important to recognize these qualities in others, rather than wishing for something we do not possess. We should strive to emulate these qualities ourselves by using our own knowledge or resources for good causes.
