حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَلَى غَيْرِ مَا حَدَّثَنَاهُ الزُّهْرِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قَيْسَ بْنَ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ

قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا حَسَدَ إِلاَّ فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالاً فَسُلِّطَ عَلَى هَلَكَتِهِ فِي الْحَقِّ، وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ الْحِكْمَةَ، فَهْوَ يَقْضِي بِهَا وَيُعَلِّمُهَا»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Do not wish to be like anyone except in two cases. (The first is) A person, whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it righteously; (the second is) the one whom Allah has given wisdom (the Holy Qur’an) and he acts according to it and teaches it to others.” (Fath-al-Bari page 177 Vol).

ক্বায়স বিন হাযিম (রহ.) বলেন, আমি ‘আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু মাস‘ঊদ (রাযি.)-কে বলতে শুনেছি, তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ কেবল দু’টি বিষয়ে ইর্ষা করা বৈধ; (১) সে ব্যক্তির উপর, যাকে আল্লাহ্ সম্পদ দিয়েছেন, অতঃপর তাকে বৈধ পন্থায় অকাতরে ব্যয় করার ক্ষমতা দিয়েছেন; (২) সে ব্যক্তির উপর, যাকে আল্লাহ্ তা‘আলা প্রজ্ঞা দান করেছেন, অতঃপর সে তার মাধ্যমে বিচার ফায়সালা করে ও তা অন্যকে শিক্ষা দেয়। (১৪০৯,৭১৪১,৭৩১৬; মুসলিম ৬/৪৭ হাঃ ৮১৬, আহমাদ ৩৪৫১)

ہم سے حمیدی نے بیان کیا، ان سے سفیان نے، ان سے اسماعیل بن ابی خالد نے دوسرے لفظوں میں بیان کیا، ان لفظوں کے علاوہ جو زہری نے ہم سے بیان کئے، وہ کہتے ہیں میں نے قیس بن ابی حازم سے سنا، انہوں نے عبداللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ سے سنا، وہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کا ارشاد ہے کہ حسد صرف دو باتوں میں جائز ہے۔

ایک تو اس شخص کے بارے میں جسے اللہ نے دولت دی ہو اور وہ اس دولت کو راہ حق میں خرچ کرنے پر بھی قدرت رکھتا ہو اور ایک اس شخص کے بارے میں جسے اللہ نے حکمت ( کی دولت ) سے نوازا ہو اور وہ اس کے ذریعہ سے فیصلہ کرتا ہو اور ( لوگوں کو ) اس حکمت کی تعلیم دیتا ہو۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Humaidi] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan] berkata, telah menceritakan kepadaku [Isma'il bin Abu Khalid] -dengan lafazh hadits yang lain dari yang dia ceritakan kepada kami dari Az Zuhri- berkata; aku mendengar [Qais bin Abu Hazim] berkata; aku mendengar [Abdullah bin Mas'ud] berkata; Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Tidak boleh mendengki kecuali terhadap dua hal; (terhadap) seorang yang Allah berikan harta lalu dia pergunakan harta tersebut di jalan kebenaran dan seseorang yang Allah berikan hikmah lalu dia mengamalkan dan mengajarkannya kepada orang lain

Kays b. Ebu Hazim şöyle demiştir: Abdullah İbn Mes'ud'un şöyle dediğini duydum: Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem) şöyle buyurdu: Gıpta etmek ancak iki şeyde söz konusudur: Bir kimseye Allah mal vermiş, bu malını da hak yolda harcamaya muvaffak kılmıştır. Bir kimseye Allah bilgi ve hikmet vermiş, o kişi de o hikmete göre hükmetmekte ve onu öğretmektedir. Tekrar:

Sahih al-Bukhari 73, Book 3, Knowledge, Hadith 15. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed out in this Hadīth that envy is of different types. There is a type that is blameworthy and unlawful under Shariah; that is when a person wishes for the removal of some blessing from his brother. The permissible type of envy is when one sees someone enjoying a worldly blessing and he hopes to have the same for himself.

There is also a praiseworthy type of envy which is recommended under Shariah. It is when one sees someone enjoying a religious blessing and wishes to have the same thing for oneself. This is what the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) intended by his statement: "There should be no envy except in two (cases)". This means that envy has different types, and its ruling differs according to its type.

It is not praiseworthy and recommended by Shariah except in two cases: 1. When there is a wealthy righteous man whom Allah has given lawful wealth, which he spends in the cause of Allah, the Almighty. So one hopes to be like him, and envies him, the kind of envy that is free from malice, for that blessing. 2. When there is a knowledgeable man whom Allah has given beneficial knowledge which he acts upon, teaches to others, and judges between the people according to. So, he wishes to be like him.
