Book of Wishes

(5) Chapter. To wish for the Qur'an and knowledge

Hadeeth 7232

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Not to wish to be the like except of two men. A man whom Allah has given the (knowledge of the) Qur'an and he recites it during the hours of night and day and the one who wishes says: If I were given the same as this (man) has been given, I would do what he does, and a man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the just and right way, in which case the one who wishes says, 'If I were given the same as he has been given, I would do what he does.'
