Seadet-i Ebediyye - Endless Bliss Third Fascicle

Allâhu ta’âlâ alone gives it the effect. The following ta’wîz, taught
by our Master, the Prophet, should be said and breathed on a
person harmed by evil eye: ‘A’ûdhu bi-kalimâtillâh-it-tâmmati
min sherri kulli shaytânin wa hâmmatin wa min sherri kulli ’aynin
lâmmatin.’ If this ta’wîz is said and breathed on oneself and on
one’s household daily, three times in the morning and three times
in the afternoon, it will protect them against evil eye, against the
harms of shaytâns and beasts.” When it is uttered on one person
(other than yourself), you say u’îdhuka instead of a’ûdhu. When
it is uttered on two people, u’îdhu-kumâ is said, and when the
people are more than two you say u’îdhu kum (instead of the first
word — a’ûdhu — in the ta’wîz).]
In short, we must do our best to carry out whatever the
Mukhbir-i sâdiq (he who has always told the truth, the Prophet)
communicated and whatever the savants of Ahl as-sunnat wrote
in Islamic books. We must know that doing the opposite is a lethal
poison and will cause endless death. That is, it will cause eternal
and various torments.
The women who were in the presence of Rasûlullah ‘sall-
Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ accepted all these and took an oath only
by words. Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ pronounced
invocations for them and begged for Allâhu ta’âlâ’s pardon on
their behalf. It must be hoped completely that these prayers have
been accepted and so all of them will be forgiven. Hadrat Hind
‘radiy-Allâhu ’anh, who was Abû Sufyân’s wife and Hadrat
Mu’awiyya’s ‘radiy-Allâhu ’anhumâ’ mother, was among them
and acted as their spokeswoman. She spoke on behalf of them. On
account of her oath and her attaining that prayer of istighfâr, it is
greatly hoped that she won her next world.
If any Muslim woman accepts these conditions and follows
them, she will be included to this solemn promise and will get her
share from this prayer. Allâhu ta’âlâ declares in the hundred and
forty-seventh âyat of Nisâ Sûra: “If you have îmân and offer your
gratitude for the blessings of Allâhu ta’âlâ, why should Allah
torment you?” That is, “He shall not torment you.” To offer
gratitude to Allâhu ta’âlâ means to admit and practise Islam’s
commandments. [This fact can be read about in the seventeenth
letter (of the third volume of Maktûbât), whose English version
occupies the forty-sixth chapter of the first fascicle of Endless
Bliss.] To be saved from Hell there is no other way than obeying
the owner of the religion ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ in belief
