‘In the name of Alla>h.’ [three times]
...then supplicate seven times:

‘I take refuge in Alla>h and within His omnipotence
from the evil that I feel and am wary of.’

‘If you see something from your brother, yourself or
wealth which you find impressing, then invoke

111 The Evil Eye: To look at something and be impressed with it, causing
harm to befall it. This “looking” may or may not involve jealousy, and
can occur unintentionally, indeed be part of a person’s nature! A person
can even inflict harm on himself.
From the supplications for the protection against the Evil Eye:
.
‘O Alla>h, send blessings upon him.’
.
‘[This is] that which Alla>h has willed, there is no power except with
Alla>h.’
