Envy, or Hasad, is the desire for someone else's blessing to be taken away. It is specifically mentioned in Surah Al-Falaq. The believer asks Allah for protection to remain safe from the negative effects of others' jealousy.
وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ
Wa min sharri hasidin idha hasad.
And from the evil of an envier when he envies.
