Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The question is about the consequence for one who harbors resentment toward people and dislikes good for others?
Answer:
He must repent to Allah; he must repent to Allah. It is obligatory for the Muslim to love good for his brothers and to dislike evil for them. It is not permissible for him to harbor resentment toward anyone without right, nor to envy them, nor to wish them ill. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 13.
It is obligatory for the Muslim to love good, guidance, and righteousness for his brothers, and to dislike all evil for them, and not to harbor resentment toward them. If a person finds in himself that he dislikes good for his brothers, then this is a disease in his heart, so he must repent to Allah for it.
