A man of bad character punishes his own soul.
You will never find happiness until you clean the garden of your heart from the poisonous plants of envy, hatred, spite, and resentment.
Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir:
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying,
...Beware! There is a piece of flesh in the body if it becomes good (reformed) the whole body becomes good but if it gets spoilt the whole body gets spoilt and that is the heart.
[Sahih al-Bukhari 52]
those who purify their souls will certainly have everlasting happiness. and those who corrupt their souls will certainly be deprived (of happiness). (Quran 91 : 9 - 10)
...there is no change in the words of Allah...
[Quran 10 : 64]
Ziyad bin `Ilaqah narrated from his uncle, that he said:
“[The Prophet (ﷺ)] used to say: ‘O Allah, I seek refuge in You from evil character, evil actions, and evil desires (Allāhumma innī a`ūdhu bika min munkarātil-akhlāqi wal-a`māli wal-ahwā’).’”
[Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3591]

What is Envy ?
Non acceptance of good in others.
Beggars do not envy millionaires, though of course they will envy other beggars who are more successful.
Insaan ka sukoon chehenne keliye sirf ek hi cheez kafi hai. Aur wo hai Hasad. Hasad karne wale keliye bad duwa ki zarorat nahi, kyunke wo pehle se hi hasad ki aag mein jal raha hota hai. Haseed wo badnaseeb shaks hai, Jo dunya mein bhi jalta hai aur akhirat mein bhi jalta hai. Itmenan e galb chahte ho to hasad se bacho.

Hasad karke Allah ke faisle ke khilaaf mat jawo.
Allah SWT says in the Quran : Or do they envy mankind for what Allah hath given them of his bounty? ... (Qur'an 4:54)
Hasad ka koi faida nahi, bulandiyan to Allah SWT deta hai. Hasad karke Allah ke faisle ke khilaaf mat jawo, Allah SWT ki taqseem aur faislon par raazi ho jawo.
Allah SWT usko kuch achai dekar azma raha hai, ke wo Allah SWT ke shukar karta hai ya nahi. Aur Allah SWT ki uss per blessing aap ka bhi imtehan hai ke aap uski blessing per hasad karte ho ya khamosh rehte ho.

Pure Heart
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr said:
“It was said to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): ‘Which of the people is best?’ He said: ‘Everyone who is pure of heart and sincere in speech.’ They said: ‘Sincere in speech, we know what this is, but what is pure of heart?’ He said: ‘It is (the heart) that is pious and pure, with no sin, injustice, rancor or envy in it.’”
[Sunan Ibn Majah 4216]

Man of paradise
Anas ibn Malik reported: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah, [pbuh] and he said,
“Coming upon you now is a man from the people of Paradise.”
A man from the Ansar came whose beard was disheveled by the water of ablution and he was carrying both of his shoes with his left hand.
The next day the Prophet repeated the same words, and the man came in the same condition.
The third day the Prophet repeated the same again, and the man came in the same condition.
When the Prophet stood up to leave, Abdullah ibn Amr followed the man and he said, “I am in a dispute with my father and I have sworn not to enter my home for three days. May I stay with you?” The man said yes.
Abdullah stayed three nights with the man but he never saw him praying at night. Whenever he went to bed, he would remember Allah and rest until he woke up for morning prayer. Abdullah said that he never heard anything but good words from his mouth. When three nights had passed and he did not see anything special about his actions, Abdullah asked him, “O servant of Allah, I have not been in dispute with my father nor have I cut relations with him. I heard the Prophet say three times that a man from the people of Paradise was coming to us and then you came. I thought I should stay with you to see what you are doing that I should follow, but I did not see you do anything special. Why did the Prophet speak highly of you?” The man said, “I am as you have seen.” When Abdullah was about to leave, the man said,
“I am as you have seen, except that I do not find dishonesty in my soul towards the Muslims and
I do not envy anyone because of the good that Allah has given them.”
Abdullah said, “This is what you have achieved and it is something we have not accomplished.”
