What to say when you fear you may afflict someone
or something with the evil eye
244. If you see
anything of your brother that pleases you, or of his person or of his
property [then ask Allah to bless him in it] for the envious eye is
real, say:
اللّهُـمَّ بارِك عَلَـيه
ما شاءَ الله، لا قُوَّةَ إلاّ بالله
Allahumma baarik 'alayh
Ma shaa`allah laquwwata illa billah
O
Allah send blessings upon him
(This
is) that which Allah has willed, there is no power except with Allah.
