Al-Bayhaqi: Leaving Envy and Hatred by seeking refuge from the Envier when he envies

Al-Bayhaqi wrote in his book Al-Adab, Chapter on Envy:

باب‏:‏ ترك الحسد والأمر بالاستعاذة من شر حاسد إذا حسد

Chapter: Leaving Envy and Affairs by seeking refuge from the Envier when he envies

Allah the Glorious, the Exalted said:

 ‏قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ‏ إلى قوله‏:‏ ‏‏وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ‏

Say, I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn… from the Envier when he envies.

[Surah Al-Falaq 113:1-5]

Imam Ahmad: People of Paradise have hearts free of Envy and Malice

Recorded in the Musnad of Imam Ahmad:

Anas ibn Malik رضى الله عنه said that when he was sitting with the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم , he said: “Coming upon you now is a man from the people of Paradise.” So a man came from the Ansar whose beard looked disarrayed by the water from Wudu (ablution), and he was carrying both of his shoes with his left hand. The next day the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم repeated the same words, and the Ansar came in the same condition. The third day the Prophet repeated the same again, and the Ansar man showed up in the same condition.
