Silsilah as-Sahihah 163 — The evil eye is real

Ubayd bin Rifa'ah Zuraqi reports: Sayyidah Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah! The children of Ja'far are very quickly affected by the evil eye. Should I perform ruqyah (spiritual healing) for them? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, for if anything could precede destiny, it would be the evil eye."
