Hadith on Hasad: Cure your envy by blessing the envied

Sahl ibn Hunayf reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “If one of you sees something from his brother, or in himself, or in his wealth which impresses him, then supplicate for him to be blessed in it. Verily, the evil eye of envy is real.”
