Arabic text

3508 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ أَبِي وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اسْتَعِيذُوا بِاللَّهِ، فَإِنَّ الْعَيْنَ حَقٌّ»

Commentary

a. Reasons of diseases are physical as well as nonphysical. The results of modern accepted medical studies prove, that the reasons of some diseases are psychological. b. Coming under the influence of evil eye is a fact which affects a person. Denial of some non-Muslim intellectuals does not have any weight. c. By taking refuge with Allāh and reciting His Sacred Words, one may protect himself from the influence of an evil eye.
