Among them are the envious. He, peace be upon him, said: There is no envy except in two cases: a man to whom God has given knowledge, so he spreads it among the people, and a man to whom God has given what he does not, and he spends it for the sake of righteousness. Then the people of proud souls who reject vices and love virtues and goodness rose up and said, “Envy is not appropriate except in noble matters.” The highest matters are not known except by their lords, and the Lord of lords and the One with the highest attributes and the most beautiful names is God. It is said that we imitate Him in being created by His names. So they did, and they exaggerated and worked hard until they began to say to the thing, “Be,” and it is, and that is the highest rank with which God is praised. If it were not for envy, the people would not have done anything to achieve this status.
