The Most Despicable Trait.

Imaam Ibnul Jawzi [rahimahullaah] said:

Envy is the most despicable trait. The first deed of disobedience through which Allaah was disobeyed in the heavens was Iblees’s envy towards Aadam and the [first deed of disobedience through which Allaah was disobeyed] in the earth was Qaabil’s envy toward Haabil.

[Source: Zaadul Maseer’ [Tafseer Surah Al-Falaq]- by Ibn Jawzi (rahimahullaah)]

    The tendency to envy and be unsupportive due to jealousy is almost always the reason why some potential friendships discontinue.

    May Allah the Almighty purify our hearts and grant us beautiful character that He and His noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam love. Ameen.
