Hadith about the Dua

Arabic Text

عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، قَالَ: مَرَّ عَامِرُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ بِسَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ وَهُوَ يَغْتَسِلُ فَقَالَ: لَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ وَلاَ جِلْدَ عَذْرَاءَ، فَوُعِكَ سَهْلٌ مَكَانَهُ، فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقِيلَ لَهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَلْ لَكَ فِي سَهْلٍ؟ وَاللَّهِ مَا يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ، فَقَالَ: "هَلْ تَتَّهِمُونَ لَهُ أَحَدًا؟" قَالُوا: عَامِرَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ، قَالَ: "عَلاَمَ يَقْتُلُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ؟ إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ أَخِيهِ مَا يُعْجِبُهُ فَلْيَدْعُ لَهُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ" ثُمَّ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَأَمَرَ عَامِرًا أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ، فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ وَرُكْبَتَيْهِ وَأَطْرَافَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَدَاخِلَةَ إِزَارِهِ، ثُمَّ صُبَّ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَذَهَبَ سَهْلٌ مَعَ النَّاسِ.

Translation

Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunayf narrated: 'Amir bin Rabi'ah passed by Sahl bin Hunayf while he was bathing and remarked, "I have never seen the like of today, not even the skin of a virgin." So Sahl fell ill on the spot. He was brought to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and it was said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, do you have anything for Sahl? By Allah, he cannot raise his head." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do you accuse anyone with regard to him?" They said, "'Amir bin Rabi'ah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Why would one of you kill his brother? If one of you sees something from his brother that amazes him, let him pray for blessing (barakah) for him." Then he called for water, and instructed 'Amir to perform ablution. Then he poured the water over Sahl, and Sahl recovered and went on with the people. (Sunan Ibn Majah 3509, Sahih by Al-Albani) **Masnoon Dua for Evil Eye:** بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ Barakallahu lak May Allah bless you.

Frequently Asked Questions

One common way folks check for nazar or evil eye is by using a glass of water, a drop of olive oil, and a spoon. You fill up the glass with water, then add a bit of olive oil on top. If the oil stays floating, it’s said there’s no bad nazar. But if the oil sinks, people believe the evil eye might be on you.
