Envy consumes good deeds

Tuesday, August 12, 2003

إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْحَسَدَ، فَإِنَّ الْحَسَدَ يَأْكُلُ الْحَسَنَاتِ كَمَا تَأْكُلُ النَّارُ الْحَطَبَ
Transliteration

Iyyakum wa-l-hasad, fa-inna-l-hasada ya'kulu-l-hasanati kama ta'kulu-n-naru-l-hatab.

Translation

Beware of envy. Envy consumes good deeds the way fire consumes wood.

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah·Sunan Abi Dawud 4903
Reflection

An accountant's warning. The deeds keep being deposited; envy is the silent withdrawal. A heart at peace with others' blessings keeps its own.

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.
