Hadith Commentary:
Reciting the Mu'awwidhatayn (Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nas) and Surah Al-Fatihah are among the best tried and tested forms of ruqyah (spiritual healing). Likewise, among supplications, the invocation: "A'udhu bikalimatillahi-t-tammati min sharri ma khalaq" ("I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created") is a tried and tested supplication.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
The effect of the evil eye (nazar) is a reality, as will be explained further on.
If a person expresses good wishes for another, the positive effect of that good wish is imparted to the other person. Similarly, negative wishes—such as envy (hasad), etc.—also have a strong negative impact on others.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has prescribed many supplications for its remedy. One such supplication is as follows:
﴿A‘udhu bikalimatillahi at-tammati min kulli shaytanin wa hammah wa min kulli ‘aynin lammah﴾ (Sahih al-Bukhari, Ahadith al-Anbiya, Hadith: 3371)
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) also commanded that when any one of you sees something admirable in his (Muslim) brother, he should supplicate for blessing (barakah) for him.
(Sunan Ibn Majah, Kitab al-Tibb, Hadith: 3509)
