The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The likeness of this community is that of four men. A man whom Allah has granted wealth and knowledge, so he acts according to his knowledge in handling his wealth, spending it in its rightful place. And a man whom Allah has granted knowledge but not wealth, so he says, 'If I had what this man has, I would do with it as he does.'"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "They are equal in reward.""And a man whom Allah has granted wealth but not knowledge, so he stumbles blindly in handling it, spending it in places it does not belong. And a man to whom Allah has granted neither wealth nor knowledge, so he says, 'If I had wealth like this man, I would do with it as he does.'"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "They are equal in sin."
حدثنا وكيع حدثنا الأعمش عن سالم بن أبي الجعد
قال رسول الله ﷺ مثل هذه الأمة مثل أربعة نفر رجل آتاه الله مالا وعلما فهو يعمل به في ماله فينفقه في حقه ورجل آتاه الله علما ولم يؤته مالا فهو يقول لو كان لي مثل ما لهذا عملت فيه مثل الذي يعمل قال قال رسول الله ﷺ فهما في الأجر سواء ورجل آتاه الله مالا ولم يؤته علما فهو يخبط فيه ينفقه في غير حقه ورجل لم يؤته الله مالا ولا علما فهو يقول لو كان لي مال مثل هذا عملت فيه مثل الذي يعمل قال قال رسول الله ﷺ فهما في الوزر سواء
