Assalamualaikum wa
rahmatullah,
Often some people get
affected by the evil eye...an important point to be
made-->USING AYATS OF QURAN AND WEARING AMULETS IS SHIRK (coz
you believe they will protect you from the evil eye). Here is
what the prophet(saw) said to do to protect oneself from the
evil eye:
With regard to dealing with the evil eye and hasad
(destructive envy), there is no doubt that when a person is
close to Allaah, always remembering Him (dhikr) and reading
Qur’aan, he is less likely to be affected by the evil eye and
other kinds of harm from the devils of mankind and the jinn.
The
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) used to seek refuge with Allaah for himself, and
the greatest means of seeking refuge that is available to the
Muslim is reading the Book of Allaah, above all the
Mi’wadhatayn (the last two Soorahs of the Qur’aan, al-Falaq and
al-Naas), Soorat al-Faatihah and Aayat al-Kursiy [al-Baqarah
2:255].
Among the saheeh du’aa’s for refuge that have been narrated
from the Prophet peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
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 with these words:
A’oodhu bi kalimaat Allaah al-taammah min kulli shaytaanin wa
haammah wa min kulli ‘aynin laammah (I seek refuge
in the 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 is meant 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 and blessings 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, and the adhkaar for going to sleep,
and others, this will have a great effect in protecting him
from the evil eye, because it will be like 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
