ENVY
Envy stands for the wish that amenities of others were to lapse and move to the envious. To hope for having the same amenities of somebody is called emulation, and it is not ill-favored. It is a hideous vice that leaves the worst influence on morals. The envious in fact lives in incessant grief since he dissatisfies himself with acts of God. As the envious feels horrible malice towards the envied, all his endeavors came to nothing. He therefore encounters the results of his envy alone:
"In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. (Muhammad), say, "I seek protection from the Lord of the Dawn against the evil of whatever He has created. I seek His protection against the evil of the invading darkness, from the evil of those who practice witchcraft and from the evil of the envious ones (113:1-5)."
The Prophet (s) said to his companions: "Surely, the malady of the past nations has crept to you. It is envy. It is shaving-not the hair, but the religion. To be saved of it, you should control your hand -power- and tongue -wording-, and you should not insinuate evil into your faithful brother." 267
"Envy consumes the good deeds in the same way as fire consumes wood" 268
Amir ul-Mu'minin (a) said: "I have never seen like the wrong envious who is most similar to the wronged. The envious lives in endless care with grieved heart and inherent sorrow." 269
