inaaSiyatih allaahumma antal awwalu falaysa qablaka shayyun wa antal aakhiru falaysa ba’daka shayyun wa antaDH-­‐Dhaahir falaysa fawqaka shayyun wa antal baaTinu falaysa doonaka shayy’. “O Allah, Lord of the heavens and the earth, our Lord and Lord of everything, Who splits the grain and the kernel, Who has sent down the Torah and the Injeel and the Qur’an. I seek refuge in You from the evil of every source of evil whom You do seize by the forelock. O Allah! You are the First, nothing being before You and You are the last, nothing being after You. You are the Manifest, nothing being above You and You are the Hidden, nothing being beyond You.” (Abu Dawud, 5051) Ar-Ruqyah Ash-Shara’iyahEvil Eye (Envy) With regard to treating one who has been affected by envy, there are two ways of doing this: If the person who envied him is known, he may be asked to do ghusl and the water used should then be poured on the “victim.” If he is not known then the remedy is by means of ruqyah and the dhikrs prescribed in sharee’ah. It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “The Messenger of Allah commanded me, or he commanded (the people) to use ruqyah to deal with the evil eye.” (Al-Bukhaari, Al-Tibb, 5297) Muslim, Ahmad and al-­‐Tirmidhi narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet 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.” (As Saheeh by al-Tirmidhi, and also by al-Albaani in al-Silsilahal-Saheehah, 1251) - 87 -
