2 types of envy: blameworthy envy & praiseworthy envy.

Tafsir Qurtubi 2:109

"...showing their innate envy now that the
truth is clear to them."

They do so simply out of envy without having any legitimate
authorisation for it from their Book or anywhere else.

There are 2 types of envy: blameworthy envy & praiseworthy envy.
The blameworthy kind is when you desire Allah's blessing to be
removed from your brother Muslim whether you want it to come to you or not.
Allah censured this type in His Book when He says, "Or do they in fact
envy people for the bounty Allah has granted them. "(4:54)
It is blameworthy because it is tantamount to thinking that Allah
is foolish & that He has blessed someone who does not deserve His blessing.

The praiseworthy type is what comes in the sound hadith in
which the Prophet(PBUH), said,"You may only have envy in 2 cases:
for a man whom Allah has given the Qur'an and he gets up and recites
it throughout the night, & for a man whom Allah has given wealth and he
spends it throughout the night and the day." This sort of envy is called
ghibta rather than hasad, and al-Bukhari has a chapter on envying
people for their knowledge and wisdom. Its reality is that you
desire to have the good and blessing which your Muslim brother
has, without any good being removed from him. It is possible to
call this aspiration, as the Almighty says, "Let people with aspiration
aspire to that!" (83:26)
