Shaykh Muhammad Saalih al-'Uthaymeen said: "The harms of envy are eleven, and they are:
First:
It is one of the major sins.
Second:
It consumes good deeds just as fire consumes firewood – a weak hadeeth
Third:
It is from the traits of the Jews
Fourth:
It negates the brotherhood of eemaan
Fifth:
It contains lack of pleasure with Allaah’s decree and pre-ordainment
Sixth:
It is a means towards misery
Seventh:
The envier is following the footsteps of the devil
Eight:
It breeds enmity and hatred among the people
Ninth:
It may lead to transgression against others.
Tenth:
It indicates that the envier has disdain for Allaah’s blessing upon him.
Eleventh:
It distracts the heart from Allaah.
