´It was narrated from Ibn Jabir, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah said:` "There is a kind of protective Jealousy that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, loves anda kind that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, hates, and a kind of pride that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, loves and a kind that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, hates, As for the protective jealousy that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, loves, it is protective jealousy when there are grounds for suspicion. As for the protective jealousy that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, hates, it is protective jealousy when there are no grounds for suspicion. As for the pride that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, loves, it is when a man feels proud of himself when fighting and when giving charity. And as for the kind of pride that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, hates, it is pride in doing wrong."

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) "At the place of accusation." That is, any action for which a person is considered blameworthy according to the Shariah or customary practice should be abandoned out of a sense of honor, for example: associating with notorious people, sitting in taverns or gambling houses, and likewise, being alone in seclusion with a non-mahram woman, etc.
(2) "Praiseworthy pride." During battle, it is praiseworthy to express one's strength and courage so that the disbelievers may be overawed. Reciting boastful poetry is also included in this. And at the time of charity, it is praiseworthy to give generously, even to surpass others in giving charity, and sometimes to challenge another to outdo oneself in giving. Remember! What is not meant here is showing off or boasting about one's resources, for that is a major sin. Spending on unlawful acts is forbidden, even if it is just a single coin.

Benefits and Issues:
Jealousy on the basis of suspicion is such that, for example, a person sees someone who is a non-mahram freely socializing with his wife or daughter, etc., and joking and laughing with them. In this situation, the expression of jealousy is desirable and beloved to Allah. But jealousy without any suspicion, for example, if someone wishes to contract a lawful (shar‘i) marriage with one’s mother or sister, then there is no meaning in feeling jealous over this, because this act is exactly what the Shari‘ah requires.
The display of pride and arrogance is desirable and beloved when it is to increase the awe of Muslims in front of the disbelievers. That is, a person attacks the disbelievers with utmost confidence and firmness, and his demeanor shows no sign of weakness or being overawed.
And pride in giving charity is that one gives it cheerfully, considers this act as a favor from Allah, regards what he gives as little, and does not fear poverty or deprivation.
