'Aamir and rebukedhim strongly. He said, "Why would one of you kill
his brother? If you see something that you like, then pray for
blessing for him." Then he said to him,"Wash yourself for him." So he
washed his face, hands, forearms, knees and the sides of his feet, and
inside his izaar (lowergarment) in the vessel. Then that water was
poured over him, and a man poured it over his head and back from
behind. He did that to him, then Sahl got up and joined the people and
there was nothing wrong with him.

The majority of scholars are of the view that people can indeed be
afflicted by the evil eye, because of the ahaadeeth quoted above and
others, and because of the corroborating reports andother evidence.
With regard to the hadeeth that you mention, "One third of those who
are in the grave are there because of the evil eye," we do notknow how
sound it is, butthe author of Nayl al-Awtaar said that al-Bazzaar
narrated with a hasan isnaad from Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with
him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said: "Most of those who die among my ummah die because of the will
and decree of Allaah, and then because of the evil eye."
The Muslim has to protect himself against the devils among the evil
jinn and mankind, by having strong faith in Allaah and by putting his
trust in Himand seeking refuge with Him and beseeching Him, reciting
the prayers for protection narrated from the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him), reciting al-Mi'wadhatayn [the last
two soorahs of the Qur'aan], Soorat al-Ikhlaas, Soorat al-Faatihah,
and Aayat al-Kursi.
Du'aa's for protection include the following:
A'oodhu bi kalimaat-illaahil-taammati min sharri makhalaqa (I seek
refuge in the perfect words of Allaah from the evil of that which He
has created).
A'oodhu bi kalimaat-illaahil-taammati min ghadabihi wa 'iqaabihi, wa
min sharri 'ibaadihi wa min hamazaat al-shayaateeni wa an yahduroon (I
seek refuge in the perfect words of Allaah from His wrath
andpunishment, from the evilof His slaves and from the evil promptings
of the devils and from their presence).
And one may recite the words of Allaah:
"Hasbi Allaahu laa ilaaha illa huwa, 'alayhi tawakkaltu wa huwa Rabb
ul-'arsh il-'azeem
(Allaah is sufficient for me.Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (nonehas the right
to be worshipped but He) in Him I put my trust and Heis the Lord of
the Mighty Throne)"
[al-Tawbah 9:129 – interpretation of the meaning]
And there are other similar du'aa's that are prescribed in sharee'ah.
This is what was meant by Ibn al-Qayyim in the words quoted at the
beginning of this answer.
If it is known or suspectedthat a person has been afflicted by the
evil eye, then the one who put the evil eye on him should be ordered
to wash himself for his brother. So a vesselof water should be
brought, and he should put his hand in it, rinse out his mouth into
the vessel. Then he should wash his face in the vessel, then put his
left hand into the vessel and wash his right knee, then put his right
hand in the vessel and wash his left knee. Then he should wash inside
his garment. Then the water should be poured over the head of the one
on whom he put the evil eye, pouring it from behind in one go. Then he
will be healed, byAllaah's leave.

Shaykh Muhammad al-Saalih al-'Uthaymeen was asked:
Can the evil eye afflict a person? How is it treated?Does being on
one's guard against it contradictputting one's trust in Allaah?
He replied:
Our opinion concerning the evil eye is that it is real and is proven
both byIslamic teachings and by real life experiences. Allaah says
(interpretationof the meaning):
"And verily, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with
their eyes (through hatred)"
[al-Qalam 68:51]
Ibn 'Abbaas and others said, commenting on this verse: this means,
they put the evil eye on you with their glances. The Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The evil eye is real and
if anything were to overtake the divine decree, it would be the evil
eye. When you are asked to take a bath (to provide a cure) from the
influence of the evil eye, you should take a bath." Narrated by
Muslim. Al-Nasaa'i and IbnMaajah narrated that 'Aamir ibn Rabee'ah
passed by Sahl ibn Haneefwhen he was bathing… and he quoted the
hadeeth.
Reality confirms that and it cannot be denied.
In the event that you are afflicted by the evil eye, you should use
the treatments recommendedin sharee'ah, which are: ...
