Hadith 1

on them of the evil eyes, because they were with beauty and goodly appearance, and perfection, and they were brothers, children of one man-as’ – from Ibn Abbas, and Al-Hassan, and Qatada, and Al-Zahak, and Al-Sady, and Abu Muslim. And it is said he-as feared upon them of the people envying them, and that their strength and their prowess would reach the king and he would imprison them or kill them, fearing upon his kingdom’ – from Al-Jabaie. And he denied the evil eyes and mentioned that it is proven by argument, and a lot of researchers have allowed it. And the Hadeeth has been reported regarding it, from the Prophet-saww: ‘The evil eye is true. It can bring down a mountain (high place)’. And it is reported in the Hadeeth that he-saww has sought Refuge (with Allah-azwj) for Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws by saying: ‘I-saww hereby seek Refuge for both of you-asws with the complete Phrases of Allah-azwj from every Satan-la and vermin, and from every evil eye’. And it is reported that Ibrahim-as had sought Refuge (with Allah-azwj) for his-as son-as, and that Musa-as has sought Refuge for the two sons of Haroun-as with this Refuge (phrases). And it is reported that the sons of Ja’far-as Bin Abu Talib-asws were white (very fair) boys, so Asma Bin Umeys said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! The evil eye would be quick to them, so shall I perform Ruqya (incantations) for them from the evil eye? ’ He-saww said: ‘Yes’. And it is reported that Jibraeel-as had performed Ruqya for Rasool-Allah-saww and had taught him-saww the Ruqya, and it is: ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj! I hereby do Ruqya for you from every evil eye of an envier. May Allah-azwj Heal you! ’
And it is reported from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘If there was anything which could precede the Pre-determination, the evil eye would precede it’. Then they differed regarding aspects of the impacts of afflictions with the evil eye. It is reported from Amro Bin Bahr Al-Jahiz having said, ‘It cannot be denied that there detaches from the afflicting evil eye to the desirable thing, subtle segments connected with it and there is an effect in it, and this meaning would be specific in some of the evil eyes like the specialities in some of the things, and there is an objection upon that, because if it had been like that, that would not have been specific with some of the things besides the others, and because the parts happen to be essences, and the essences are identical and they have not impact on each other’. And Abu Hashim said, ‘It is a Deed of Allah-azwj with the norm for a type of betterment. And it is a word of Al-Qazi, and I saw this in a commentary of this of the noble, the majestic, Al-Razi Al-Musawi, may Allah-azwj Sanctify his soul, a speech which I loved to refer to it in this place. He said, ‘Allah-azwj Does the betterment of His-azwj servant in accordance with what He-azwj Knows of the betterment for them in those Deeds which He-azwj Does. So it is not impossible that He-azwj would Change the bounties of Zayd in betterment for Amro. And when He-azwj, the Exalted, Knows what the situation of Amro is, if He-azwj did not Strip Zayd of his bounties, he would turn to the world (worldly affairs) with his face, and turned away from the Hereafter due to His-azwj Kindness. And when He-azwj Strips the bounties of Zayd for the reason which we have mentioned, He‑azwj would Compensate him of it and Give him in replacement of it, currently and in the future. It is possible to take his-asws words: ‘The evil eye is true’, based upon this aspect. It has been reported from him-asws what evidence’s upon that the thing, when it is magnified in the chests of the servants, Allah-azwj would Drop it’s worth and Belittle it’s affair; and when the matter was based upon this, it cannot be denied, the changing of the state of some of the things during the looking of one of the beholders to it, and His-azwj Favouring to him, and it’s mightiness in his chest. So it’s grandeur in his eyes is like what is reported that he-asws said: ‘When his-saww she-camel came first, and whenever it was raced with it was not preceded (overtaken). The servant will not raise of anything except Allah-azwj would Drop from it’’. And it is allowed it would be what He-azwj has Commanded with, the desiring for the thing at the sighting, one should seek Refuge with Allah-azwj and the Salawaat upon Rasool-Allah-saww, standing regarding the place of betterment, changing the state of the desired thing. So it would not change during that, because the onlooker to that has manifested the returning to Allah-azwj the Exalted and se
