The Prophet (ﷺ) I said, "Allah does not listen to a prophet as He listens to a prophet who recites the

the Quran and he recites it during the hours of the night and during the hours of the day, and his

might do what he does; and a man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it on what is just and
right, whereupon an other man May say, 'I wish I had been given what so-and-so has been given, for
