What is the meaning of a person forgiving for the sake of the Qur’an, and of the bearer of the Qur’an being sad due to people’s transgressions, and how is he envied for knowledge, and what is the meaning of the bearer of the Qur’an being known by his day while people are breaking their fast?

These phrases, some of them, were reported from the Salaf. It was reported from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, that the bearer of the Qur'an should be known by his worship at night and during the day, and by his sorrow, weeping, humility, and silence, in glorification of the Qur'an. Abdullah ibn Amr said: "It is not befitting for the bearer of the Qur'an to delve into idle talk with those who do, nor to act ignorantly with the ignorant, rather he should forgive and overlook, out of reverence for the word of Allah." This means that the bearer of the Qur'an must be adorned with noble character.

As for the phrase "How can he be envied for knowledge?", if it refers to what is mentioned in the Hadith: "There is no envy except in two [cases]: a man whom Allah has given the Qur'an, so he recites it during the hours of the night and the hours of the day...", then there is no contradiction between this Hadith and the condemnation of envy. The blameworthy envy is wishing for the removal of a blessing from others. As for the envy mentioned in the Hadith, it is "ghibta" (enviable emulation), which is wishing to have what others have without the removal of the blessing from them, and it was figuratively called envy.
