Is this the only kid he is like this towards? He may just not like him just like adults don't like everyone their age. I know it's hard because it's your friends child and you want your kids to play together so that you can hang out but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way. He does need to be talked to about him behavior and told that whether or not he likes the person is irrelevant he needs to treat him fairly and with respect. I tell my son he may not want to play with certain kids and that's okay but it isn't okay to be unkind. I would ask him out right why he does it there may be a simple explanation. Four year olds are smarter than we give credit too .. I know my 3 year old is.

Well look at what is making him jealous of your friends child.. Most of the time children get spiteful if they are jealous or not getting enough attention at home and is why his is mean to others. time outs and no treats are good but try taking toys away or try a mommy and me day atleast once a week where you do stuff together maybe he is feeling neglected. Don't yell at him in front of your friends child because this could make it worse.

Just like adults don't always "click" with some people and choose not to include them in their circle of friends, children have
thier own feelings about other children too. Sometimes, it's best in this situation to allow your son to choose not to have this boy in his circle of friends. Just because you and this boys' mother "click" doesn't mean your children will. Since you've tried punishments, of sort, maybe you could simply make time to spend with your friend without your children.
Another thought, maybe your son feels left out when you are with your friend and doesn't want to share you with her or her son. Try activities that the four of you can do together, like a movie or play ground time. Maybe your son doesn't want to share his things with this boy. Try having the other boy bring a few toys to share with your son. If this doesn't work, then the same answer applies. See each other without your children. Who knows, you may find out it's the best and most productive time together you've ever shared.

What's happening when he becomes spiteful? You have to be a little more informative than this, there are ALOT of reasons children will act out when they are upset about something.

How does he act at home??? Is he being taught that spite is ok?? Is he an only child??? Being an only child myself until I was 10 I know how it can be when you have to "share" your things. FYI time outs don't work for anything-they just give children time to ponder on other devious acts....lol......

Sometimes you have to let them get it back from the other kids. Time outs, no treats and ignoring does not show him that it hurts the other person. Also, a good swat on the butt is not abuse!

Children have feelings and emotions just like adults. My guess is that these 2 just don't see eye to eye. Find him a playmate that he likes. We adults can sense something about a person and so can children.
