Envy Is A Burning Coal
The Noble Scholar Ibn Uthaymeen [رحمه الله] said:
«الحسدُ جمرةٌ في القلب والعياذ بالله، كلَّما أنعم الله على عبده نعمة احترق هذا القلب والعياذ بالله حيث أنعم الله تعالى على عباده، فتجدهُ دائماً في نكد ودائماً في قلق.»
❝Envy is a burning coal in the heart and Allaah's refuge is sought. Everytime Allaah bestows a blessing upon His worshipper this heart becomes inflamed and Allaah's refuge is sought because Allaah the Most-High bestows a blessing upon His worshippers, so you find the envious person always miserable and with worry.❞
[Sharh Riyadh As-Saliheen, (6/249) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]
