45) Chapter: ‘If I have been given what this man has been given, I would do the same as he is doing.’
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Not to wish to be the like of except the like of two men: a man whom Allah has
given the Qur'an and he recites it during the hours of the night and the hours of the day, in which case
one may say, "If I were given the same as this man has been given, I would do the same as he is
doing.' The other is a man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the right way, in which
case one may say, 'If I were given the same as he has been given, I would do the same as he is doing."
45) باب قَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم {رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَهْوَ يَقُومُ بِهِ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ، وَرَجُلٌ يَقُولُ لَوْ أُوتِيتُ مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَ هَذَا فَعَلْتُ كَمَا يَفْعَلُ»
فَبَيَّنَ اللَّهُ أَنَّ قِيَامَهُ بِالْكِتَابِ هُوَ فِعْلُهُ وَقَالَ: {وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلاَفُ أَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَأَلْوَانِكُمْ}.
وَقَالَ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ: {وَافْعَلُوا الْخَيْرَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ}.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم . " لاَ تَحَاسُدَ إِلاَّ فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَهْوَ يَتْلُوهُ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَآنَاءَ النَّهَارِ، فَهْوَ يَقُولُ لَوْ أُوتِيتُ مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَ هَذَا، لَفَعَلْتُ كَمَا يَفْعَلُ. وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالاً فَهْوَ يُنْفِقُهُ فِي حَقِّهِ فَيَقُولُ لَوْ أُوتِيتُ مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَ عَمِلْتُ فِيهِ مِثْلَ مَا يَعْمَلُ "
