In this Ayah is a proof that the effect of the evil eye and its affliction by the command of Allah is real. Many Hadiths have been reported concerning this through numerous routes of transmission. The Hadith of Buraydah bin Al-Husayb Abu `Abdullah bin Majah recorded from Buraydah bin Al-Husayb that the Messenger of Allah said,

آ«ظ„ظژط§ ط±ظڈظ‚ظ’ظٹظژط©ظژ ط¥ظگظ„ظ‘ظژط§ ظ…ظگظ†ظ’ ط¹ظژظٹظ’ظ†ظچ ط£ظژظˆظ’ ط­ظڈظ…ظژط©آ»

(There is no Ruqyah except to cure the evil eye and the sting.) This is how Ibn Majah recorded this Hadith. Imam Muslim also recorded this Hadith in his Sahih on the authority of Buraydah himself, but he did not attribute it to the Prophet . There is a story concerning this incident (as reported by Buraydah in Sahih Muslim), and At-Tirmidhi recorded the Hadith in this manner (like Muslim's version). This Hadith has also been recorded by Imam Al-Bukhari, Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi on the authority of `Imran bin Husayn, however, he did not attribute it to the Prophet . `Imran's wording is,

آ«ظ„ظژط§ ط±ظڈظ‚ظ’ظٹظژط©ظژ ط¥ظگظ„ظ‘ظژط§ ظ…ظگظ†ظ’ ط¹ظژظٹظ’ظ†ظچ ط£ظژظˆظ’ ط­ظڈظ…ظژط©آ»

(There is no Ruqyah except to cure the evil eye and the sting.)'' Muslim recorded in his Sahih from Ibn `Abbas that the Prophet said,

آ«ط§ظ„ظ’ط¹ظژظٹظ’ظ†ظڈ ط­ظژظ‚ظ‘ظŒ ظˆظژظ„ظژظˆظ’ ظƒظژط§ظ†ظژ ط´ظژظٹظ’ط،ظŒ ط³ظژط§ط¨ظژظ‚ظژ ط§ظ„ظ’ظ‚ظژط¯ظژط±ظژ ط³ظژط¨ظژظ‚ظژطھظگ ط§ظ„ظ’ط¹ظژظٹظ’ظ†ظڈ ظˆظژط¥ظگط°ظژط§ ط§ط³ظ’طھظڈط؛ظ’ط³ظگظ„ظ’طھظڈظ…ظ’ ظپظژط§ط؛ظ’ط³ظگظ„ظڈظˆط§آ»

(The evil eye is real. If anything were to overtake the divine decree (and change it), then it would be the evil eye. And if you perform Ghusl (to remove the evil eye) then wash well.) Muslim was alone in recording this Hadith, as Al-Bukhari did not mention it. It is reported from Ibn `Abbas that he said, "The Messenger of Allah used to invoke Allah's protection for Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn (his grandsons) by saying,

آ«ط£ظڈط¹ظگظٹط°ظڈظƒظڈظ…ظژط§ ط¨ظگظƒظژظ„ظگظ…ظژط§طھظگ ط§ظ„ظ„ظ‡ظگ ط§ظ„طھظ‘ظژط§ظ…ظ‘ظژط©ظگ ظ…ظگظ†ظ’ ظƒظڈظ„ظ‘ظگ ط´ظژظٹظ’ط·ظژط§ظ†ظچ ظˆظژظ‡ظژط§ظ…ظ‘ظژط©ظچطŒ ظˆظژظ…ظگظ†ظ’ ظƒظڈظ„ظ‘ظگ ط¹ظژظٹظ’ظ†ظچ ظ„ظژط§ظ…ظ‘ظژط©آ»

(I seek protection for you two by the perfect Words of Allah from every Shaytan, and dangerous creature, and from every eye that is evil.) Then he would say:

آ«ظ‡ظژظƒظژط°ظژط§ ظƒظژط§ظ†ظژ ط¥ظگط¨ظ’ط±ظژط§ظ‡ظگظٹظ…ظڈ ظٹظڈط¹ظژظˆظ‘ظگط°ظڈ ط¥ظگط³ظ’ط­ظژط§ظ‚ظژ ظˆظژط¥ظگط³ظ’ظ…ظژط§ط¹ظگظٹظ„ظژ ط¹ظژظ„ظژظٹظ’ظ‡ظگظ…ظژط§ ط§ظ„ط³ظ‘ظژظ„ظژط§ظ…آ»

(Thus, did Ibrahim used to seek protection for Ishaq and Isma`il (his sons).)'' This Hadith was recorded by Al-Bukhari and the Sunan compilers.
