Do not envy

Abu Huraira () reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Do not envy, and do not outbid each other,[i] and do not hate, and do not turn away, and do not outsell each other, and be servants of Allah as brothers! The Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He does not wrong him or humiliate him or look down upon him. Taqwa(mindfulness of Allah) is here!” and he pointed to his chest three times. “It is sufficient evil for a person to look down upon his brother Muslim. All of the Muslim is sacred to another Muslim: his life, his wealth, and his honor.”

[Sahih Muslim, Book 032, Number 6219]

[1] i.e. do not outbid each other, such as competing with one another in the marriage dowry (mahr).
