Surah al-Falaq ayah 5
Wa min sharri hasidin idha hasad
And from the evil of the envious person when he envies
The following is an excerpt of commentary on this ayah:
And from the evil of the envier when he envies. Envy is the evil, be grudging reaction one feels towards another who has received some favours from Allah. It is also accompanied by a very strong desire for the annihilation of such favours. Some harm to the envied may result from such a baseless grudge. Now, this may either be the outcome of some direct physical action of the envier or may result from the suppressed feelings alone.
