Section: A Jinn May Affect Man with its Evil Eye
103
Abu Sa'id Al-Khudris (RA) reported : "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to seek refuge with Allah from the Jinn, then man's evil eye. But when the Chapters 113 and 114 of the Qur'an were revealed, he adopted them, and discarded any other inappropriate invocations." [At-Tirmidi: 2059, the Book of Medicine, and Ibn Majah: 3511]Ummu Salama (RA) reported: "the Prophet (ﷺ) observed a girl in my house, whose face had a black spot and said, 'she is under the effect of an evil eye; so treat her with ruqya."According to the above traditions, the evil eye also comes from the Jinn. Therefore, a Muslim should invoke Allah & upon undressing, looking in the mirror, or starting any task in order to ward off the harm of the Jinr's evil eye, etc.
