Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) said: There is no tranquility for the envious
Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) said: There is no prosperity for envious
Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) said: Calamities for one's religion are envy, self-admiration and pride
Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) said: Satan (Iblis) says to his gang: 'Instill envy and disobedience among them (human beings) because these two are equal to shirk (polytheism)'
Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) said: Beware of envying each other for indeed the basis of disbelief (kufr) is envy
Hazrat Luqman (as) said to his son: The envious person has three signs: backbiting behind them (whom he envies), flatters them in front and is happy when they are in trouble.
So what should a believer do when he/she observes a blessing that he/she lacks is possessed by another servant of Allah (SWT)?
He/she should desire that the blessing possessed by another servant of Allah (SWT) should remain as such and increase and may Allah (SWT) bestow him/her with the same blessing.
He/she must not desire that the blessing be lost from the servant of Allah (SWT). He/she must appreciate that Allah (SWT) has bestowed the blessing to His servant by His own grace and he/she should be happy with Allah (SWT).
Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) said: A believer desires (to achieve) a blessing and avoids envy while a hypocrite envies and is not desirous of (achieving) the blessing
O Allah, Bless Muhammad and his Household and provide me with a breast safe from envy, such that I envy none of Thy creatures and in anything of Thy bounty and such that I see none of Thy favors toward any of Thy creatures in religion or this world, well-being or reverential fear, plenty or ease, without hoping for myself better than it through and from Thee alone, who hast no associate! Imam Zainul Abideen (as)
