Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “A believer always suffers either from a neighbor who is jealous of him, or a Satan who beguiles him, or a hypocrite who always follows him, or a believer who is jealous of him.” Suma’eh asked: “May I be your devoted servant! A believer is jealous of him?” The Imam (a.s) replied: “Yes. Know that this is the worst of them all.” Suma’eh asked why. Then Imam Sadiq (a.s) replied: “Because he slanders and others acknowledge it.”
قال الصادق (عليه السلام): لا ينفك المؤمن من خصال أربع: من جار يؤذيه، وشيطان يغويه، ومنافق يقفو إثره، ومؤمن يحسده، قال سماعة: قلت: جعلت فداك مؤمن يحسده؟ قال: يا سماعة، أما إنه أشدهم عليه، قلت: وكيف ذلك؟ قال: لأنه يقول القول فيه فيصدق عليه.
