3a] How to protect oneself against the evil eye

3a]
are:
"A'oodhu bi kalimaat Allaah al-taammaati min sharri maa khalaq (I seek
refuge in the perfect words of Allaah from the evil of that which He
has created)."
(Narrated by Muslim, al-Dhikr wa'l-Du'aa, 4881)
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with them
both) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
used to seek refuge with Allaah for al-Hasan and al-Husayn. He said:
'Your father [i.e., Ibraaheem] used to seek refuge with Allaah for
Ismaa'eel and Ishaaq withthese words: A'oodhu bi kalimaat Allaah
al-taammah min kulli shaytaanin wa haammah wa min kulli 'aynin laammah
(I seek refuge inthe perfect words of Allaah, from every devil and
every poisonous reptile, and from every bad eye).'"(Narrated by
al-Bukhaari, Ahaadeeth al-Anbiyaa', 3120).
With regard to the meaning of laammah (translated here as
"bad"),al-Khattaabi said: "What ismeant here is every disease or harm
that a person may suffer such as insanity or mental disturbance."
It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed that Jibreel came to the Prophet
(peace andblessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: "O Muhammad, are
you ill?" He said, "Yes." He said, "Bismillaahi arqeeka min kulli
shay'in yu'dheeka, min sharri kulli nafsin aw 'aynin haasid Allaahu
yashfeek, bismillaahi arqeek (In the name of Allaah I perform ruqyah
for you, from everything that is harming you, from the evil of every
soul or envious eye may Allaah heal you, in the name of Allaah I
perform ruqyah for you)." (Narrated by Muslim, al-Salaam, 4056)
Undoubtedly, when a person persists in reciting the adhkaar (dhikr)
for morning and evening, andthe adhkaar for going to sleep, and
others, this willhave a great effect in protecting him from the evil
eye, because it will belike a stronghold for him, by Allaah's Leave.
So everyone should strive to recite these adhkaar. One of the best
treatments is the use of ruqyah, which the Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) permitted for protection from the
evil eye and he instructed people to use it.
It was narrated that 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said:
"The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
commanded me, or he commanded (the people) to use ruqyah to deal with
the evil eye."
(narrated by al-Bukhaari, al-Tibb, 5297)
And it was narrated that 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her)
said: "The man who cast the evil eye would be commanded to do wudoo',
and then the man who was affected would wash himself with (the
water)."
(Narrated by Abu Dawood, al-Tibb, 3382. Al-Albaani said, in Saheeh
Sunan Abi Dawood, its isnaad is saheeh. No. 3282)
These are some of the du'aa's and treatments which offer protection –
by Allaah's leave – from the evil eye and from destructive envy
(hasad). We ask Allaah to protect us from that. And Allaah knows best.
See Zaad al-Ma'aad by Ibn al-Qayyim, 4/162.
