THE BEST CURE FOR BUGHZ
Bughz (بغض، resentment, holding grudges) arises from Hassad (حسد، jealousy). First a person starts becoming jealous with someone as to why they have prospered and progressed so much in life. Then as a result of this the person starts being unhappy and distressed about the other person's progress and starts wishing that some harm would come to them, and they would fail in life. Then because they have no means of harming this person themselves, they keep resenting the other person's progress and this leads to Bughz. So the first step towards removing Bughz from one's heart is to get rid of Hassad.
Religious elders have said that the best cure for Hassad is that the person should pray for the success of the person he is feeling Hassad for. Initially it would cause him great distress to pray for that person because in his heart he wants this person to fail, wants him to come to harm, and yet he is praying for his success. But he must force himself to keep making that prayer. In fact he should also tell the other person that I am praying for your success. If he keeps doing it InshaAllah (God willing) he will get rid of the spiritual sickness of Hassad.
