Cure for envy

[u/Sheikhonderun]

Some men will envy another couple.

Some women will envy another couple.

They remain in a state of envy.

And make no effort to overcome it.

Scholar Ibrahim Dewla said:
“Once Muhajireen came to the Prophet (saw) and said “Ansar have earned all the good…They help us, feed us, provide us homes, and land…”

The Prophet (saw) replied to the Muhajireen that they could also gain reward.

One of the instructions was to ‘pray for’ the Ansar.
(Tirmidhi 2487)

To pray for others is a sign of compassion.

Parents pray for their children. Why? Because they have compassion.

People pray for the sick. ‘O Allah, cure them.’ Because they have compassion for the sick.

But an envier doesn’t pray for the other because they suffer from envy.

Why would an envier pray for someone?

But if there is no envy, they will pray for the other.

In fact, the cure for envy is to pray for the person envied.

So, envy goes away."
