To fend off the evil eyes, it is reported to recite verse No. 51 of Surah al-Qalam (No. 68):
وَاِنْ يَّكَادُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا
“And lo! Those who disbelieve
لَيُزْلِقُوْنَكَ بِاَبْصَارِهِمْ
would fain disconcert you with their eyes
لَمَّا سَمِعُوْا الذِّكْرَ
when they hear the Reminder,
وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ اِنَّهُ لَمَجْنُوْنٌ۔
and they say: ،Lo! He is indeed mad.’
Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) is reported to have said: Once you fear lest you will be affected by an evil eye or you may affect others with it, you may repeat the following statement three times:
مَا شَاۤءَاللّٰهُ
Only what Allah wills (shall come to pass).
لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ الْعَلِىِّ الْعَظِيْمِ۔
There is no power save with Allah, the Most High and Allgreat.
It is also reported that whoever puts on an attractive attire, should recite Surah al-Falaq and Surah al-Nas before leaving his house. If he does, nothing will harm him by the permission of Almighty Allah.
To fend off the evil eyes, you may raise your hand to the level of your face, recite Surah al-Faatehah, Surah al-Falaq, and Surah al-Nas, and rub your forelocks with your hands.
The following supplicatory amulet may be said to fend off the evil eyes:
اَللّٰهُمَّ رَبَّ مَطَرٍ حَابِسٍ
O Allah; O Lord of pouring rainwater,
وَ حَجَرٍ يَّابِسٍ
solid rocks,
وَّ لَيْلٍ دَامِسٍ
dusky night,
وَّ رَطْبٍ وَّ يَابِسٍ
and wet and dry things,
رُدَّ عَيْنَ الْعَايِنِ عَلَيْهِ فِىْ كَبِدِهِ
(please) repel the evil eye of the observer to his liver,
وَ نَحْرِهِ وَ مَالِهِ
neck, and property.
فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرٰى مِنْ فُطُوْرٍ
“Then look again: Can you see any rifts?
ثُمَّ ارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ
Then, look again and yet again,
يَنْقَلِبْ اِلَيْكَ الْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًا وَّ هُوَ حَسِيْرٌ۔
your sight will return to you weakened and made dim.
Another supplicatory amulet against evil eyes is the following:
اَللّٰهُمَّ ذَا السُّلْطَانِ الْعَظِيْمِ
O Allah, Lord of great authority,
وَالْمَنِّ الْقَدِيْمِ
eternal bestowals,
وَالْوَجْهِ الْكَرِيْمِ
and Noble Face,
ذَا الْكَلِمَاتِ التَّآمَّاتِ
and Lord of perfect words
وَالدَّعَوَاتِ الْمُسْتَجَابَاتِ
and responded prayers,
عَافِ فُلَانًا مِّنْ اَنْفُسِ الْجِنِّ
(Please) cure [so-and-so] from the breaths of jinn
Having applied this supplicatory amulet to Imam al-Hasan and Imam al-Husayn (a.s.), the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said to his companions, “Apply this supplicatory amulet to your children.”
وَ اَعْيُنِ الْاِنْسِ۔
and (evil) eyes of human beings.
To protect the animals and other things from the evil eyes, Imam Ali(a.s.) is reported to have advised of using this supplicatory amulet:
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الْعَظِيْمِ
رَدَدْتُ عَيْنَالْعَايِنِ عَلَيْهِ
مِنْ رَّاۤءْسِهِ اِلٰى قَدَمَيْهِ
وَ عَلٰى جَارِهِ وَاَقَارِبِهِ
وَ بَابُ الْمَكْرُوْهِ تَلِيْقُ
فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرٰى مِنْ فُطُوْرٍ
ثُمَّ ارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ
يَنْقَلِبْ اِلَيْكَ الْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًا وَّ هُوَ حَسِيْرٌ۔
