   • Qur'an 4:54

     ‏أَمْ يَحْسُدُونَ النَّاسَ عَلَىٰ مَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ‎

     ʔam yaḥsudūna an-nāsa ʕalā mā ʔātāhumu l-lahu min faḍlihi

   • Quran 113:05

     ‏وَمِنْ شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ‎‎

     wamin šarri ḥāsidin ʔiḏā ḥasada

     And from the evil of the envious when they envy

• Steingass, Francis Joseph (1884), “حسد”, in The Student's Arabic–English Dictionary‎, London: W.H. Allen

حَسَد • (ḥasad) m

1. verbal noun of حَسَدَ (ḥasada) (form I)
2. envy
3. (proscribed) the evil eye

   Synonym: عَيْن‎ (ʕayn)

It is common to use the word similarly to the English envy, that is, without supernatural connotations. In religious and folklore-related contexts, however, the word is almost exclusively used to denote hateful and malicious thoughts and feelings that purportedly curse the envied with العَيْن‎ (al-ʕayn, “the [evil] eye”) and cause them myriad afflictions. As such, it is often idiomatically combined with حِقْد‎ (ḥiqd, “ill will, malice”) for their consonance and like semantic fields since حِقْد‎ (ḥiqd) particularly highlights the hidden and dissimulated nature of the hatred and loathing of the referent. Other commonly collocated words include غِلّ‎ (ḡill, “concealed animosity and hate often with hidden injurious intent, spite, malice”), غَيْظ‎ (ḡayẓ, “hateful or envious fury, bitterness, rage, resentment”), بَغْضَاء‎ (baḡḍāʔ, “burning hatred, loathing, aversion, rancor, detestation, malevolence, hostility, antagonism”), and ضَغِينَة‎ (ḍaḡīna, “dissembled extreme hate and malice, venom”).
