The Prohibition against Envy

Or do they envy others for what Allah granted them out of His grace and bounty? (an-Nisa 4:54)

755. Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Beware of envy. Envy devours good actions as fire devours wood” (or he said, “dry grass”). (Sunan Abu Dawud, Adab, 44).
