No envy except in two

Friday, February 25, 2000

لَا حَسَدَ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ: رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا فَسُلِّطَ عَلَى هَلَكَتِهِ فِي الْحَقِّ، وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ الْحِكْمَةَ فَهُوَ يَقْضِي بِهَا وَيُعَلِّمُهَا
Transliteration

La hasada illa fi-thnatayn: rajulun atahu-llahu malan fa-sullita ala halaketihi fi-l-haqq, wa rajulun atahu-llahu-l-hikmata fa-huwa yaqdi biha wa yu'allimuha.

Translation

No envy except in two: a man whom Allah has given wealth and the power to spend it on what is right, and a man whom Allah has given wisdom by which he judges and teaches.

Narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud·Sahih al-Bukhari 73, Sahih Muslim 816
Reflection

The word here is ghibtah, not hasad. Not wishing the blessing taken from him, but wishing the same upon yourself. Envy of the act, not the person.
