Explanation of Al Hasad (envy)

 
The people of knowledge have differed with regards to the explanation of Al Hasad (envy):

Some of them said: “Desiring the disappearance of the blessing from the other” and others stated that Al Hasad is “Hating/Disliking that which Allaah has bestowed upon other than him. The definition preferred by Shaykh ul-Islaam ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله is, “if the slave dislikes/hates that which Allaah has bestowed upon other than him, then he has envied him, even if he doesn't desire its disappearance.”

Taken from Shaykh Uthaymeen’s Explanation of ‘40 Hadeeth’, pg. 187
