Finally, this Hadith doesn’t even suggest actions (i.e. virtue) but welfare (i.e. value). The Islamic websites that I find suggest it has to do with envy. Thus, it is an egalitarian theme. There is also a question about scope--does it apply to only fellow Muslims? Then it would not be universal. Given Islam's rules for dhimmi one has to question the universality of Islamic ethical teachings.
