Envy is not justified except in two cases:
Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, reported:
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Envy is not justified except in two cases: one who, having been given (knowledge of) the Qur'an by Allah and he recites it during the night and day (and also acts upon it) and a man who, having been given wealth by Allah, and he spends it during the night and the day (for the welfare of others, seeking the pleasure of Allah).
