Seadet-i Ebediyye - Endless Bliss Third Fascicle

Mawlânâ Muhammad ’Uthmân Sâhib ‘rahmatullâhi ta’âlâ
’alaih’ says at the end of the hundred and third page of his book
entitled Fawâid-i ’Uthmâniyya: “For getting over the disasters
caused by witchery and sorcery, say the Salawât-i-sherîfa three
times, the Fâtiha seven times, the Âyat-al-kursî seven times, the
Kâfirûn seven times, the Ikhâs-i sherîf seven times, the Falaq
seven times and the Nâs seven times and breathe them on yourself
and on the invalid. Then, saying them once more, breathe them on
the room and bed of the spell-bound person, on all the house
including the garden. Inshâallâhu ta’âlâ, he will be saved from the
spell. [You must not get any payment for this.] This is good for all
other illnesses, too. In order that a barakat will come upon the
field, give the ’ushr (zakât) of the crops, then write the names of
the As-hâb-i-kahf on four different pieces of paper and wrap them
up separately and bury them separately at four different
untrodden corners of the field. After the namâz of morning and
night, if you mention the names of the Silsila-i ’aliyya, say the
Fâtiha-i sherîfa and breathe it to their souls, any prayer which you
do through them will be accepted; this has been experienced very
often.” And it is written in its hundred and forty-eighth page and
in Rûh-ul-bayân: “It will also protect and give barakat to carry a
piece of paper containing the names of the As-hâb-i-kahf or to
keep it in the home.” Domitianus, or Docianus, one of the Roman
Emperors, was a wicked, unjust idolater. He declared himself to
be a god and was killed in 95. While he was in Ephesus (Tarsus),
seven young men who would not renounce ’Îsâ’s ‘’alaihissalam’
religion took refuge in a cave 15 km north-west of the town. They
slept in it continuously for three hundred years. During the time
of the Emperor Theodus, they woke and talked with Arius’s
disciples. They slept again. Theodus defeated idolatry, spread
Nasrâniyyat and went to the cave and talked with the As-hâb-ikahf
and attained their benedictions. He built a place for praying
in front of the cave and passed away in 395. Ma’mûn, Khârûn
Rashîd’s son and the seventh Abbasid caliph, rests in his grave in
Tarsus. The names of the As-hâb-i-kahf were Yamlîhâ,
Maksalînâ, Mislînâ, Marnûsh, Dabarnûsh, Shâzanûsh,
Kafashtatayyûsh, and their dog Qitmîr.
Evil eye is true. That is, illness caused by evil eye is true. When
some people look at something and like it, the rays coming out
from their eyes are harmful and cause damage to everything
whether it is living or lifeless. This has many examples. Perhaps
some day science will be able to explore these rays and their
