Ash-Shaykh al-Uthaymeen, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said:
"Verily, al-Hasad (Envy, Jealousy) is an awful trait which is unfortunately found mostly between the scholars and (between) the students of knowledge; it is (also) found between the business men with regards to each other. Everyone who possesses an occupation he is envied by his colleague in it."
But sadly the hasad between the Scholars and between the students of knowledge is more SEVERE while they should have been the first (of the people) and the most worthy that they the people of knowledge be furthest of the people from Hasad and to be the closest (of the people) to the best of characters.
[The Reference: The Book of Knowledge, page 54, print: Daarul Minhaaj]
Allaah The Most High said:
"And We have made some of you as a trial for others: will you have patience? And your Lord is Ever All-Seer (of everything)." (Al-Furqan 25:20).
A Poet said:
"Remain patient upon the envy of the jealous, for indeed patience will deter them. Indeed the fire will devour itself if it does not find anything else to burn."

I recently talked about this on my blog. I slightly made reference to it but all the same. I talked about how hating=jealousy= is an abhored characteristic that can lead to arrogance (like Iblis).
In Islam: there is 2 types of jealousy: halal and haram
In halal we envy their knowledge but we CAN not wish for them to leave such a quality or act. Thats the condition. :)
