The Disease of ‘Ain and Its Treatment/ ‘Ain的疾病及其治疗

The Disease of ‘Ain and Its Treatment

**Question from Ummu Haurah Pinrang in the WhatsApp group Nashihatulinnisa:**

_"Excuse me, does anyone know how to treat the disease of 'Ain in babies? Besides reciting prayers for protection from 'Ain, what else can be done if children have already been affected by 'Ain?"_

---

**Question to Sheikh Muhammad al-Salih al-Uthaymeen:**

**"Is taking precautions against ‘Ain contrary to tawakkul (trust in Allah)?"**

Taking precautions against ‘Ain is permissible and does not contradict tawakkul; in fact, it is a form of tawakkul because tawakkul is relying on Allah while also taking the permissible or recommended means. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would seek protection for al-Hasan and al-Husain by saying:

_"I seek protection for you both with the perfect words of Allah from every devil, poisonous creature, and every harmful eye."_ (Tirmidhi and Abu Dawood)

This is what Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) used to say for his sons Ishaq and Ismail (peace be upon them). (Fatawa Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen 2/117, 118)

**Sheikh Muhammad bin Shalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) on protecting oneself from ‘Ain:**

He said that protecting oneself from ‘Ain is permissible and does not negate reliance on Allah. In fact, it is part of tawakkul, as tawakkul involves relying on Allah along with taking permissible or commanded measures.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to seek protection for al-Hasan and al-Husain with the words:

_"I seek protection for you both with the perfect words of Allah from every devil and harmful creature, and from every harmful eye."_ (Tirmidhi and Abu Dawood)

He also said that if anything could precede destiny, it would be the ‘Ain. If you are asked to wash to treat someone affected by ‘Ain, then do so. (Muslim)

**Explanation by Ibnul Qayyim in Zaadul Ma’ad:**

The effect of ‘Ain does not depend solely on seeing the object; even a blind person can describe something and influence it with ‘Ain without seeing it. Many cases have shown that ‘Ain can occur through imagination without direct sight. (Zaadul Ma’ad 4/153)

The Prophet also warned about the dangers of ‘Ain, saying that most deaths in his community, after Allah's decree, are due to the influence of ‘Ain. (Bukhari)

**Regarding the treatment of ‘Ain:**

Once, Amir bin Rabi’ah saw Sahl bin Hunaif bathing and remarked on his beautiful skin. Shortly after, Sahl fell ill, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) was called. He asked who they suspected and was told it was Amir. The Prophet then instructed Amir to perform wudhu (ablution), and the water from his wudhu was poured over Sahl, which cured him. (Ibn Majah)

Similarly, when the Prophet saw a girl with a dark spot on her face, he instructed that she be treated with ruqyah because she was affected by ‘Ain. (Bukhari and Muslim)

In another instance, the Prophet advised Asma’ bintu Umais to perform ruqyah on the children of Ja’far bin Abu Talib, who were affected by ‘Ain. (Muslim)

**Conclusion:**

The disease of ‘Ain can be caused by an envious or admiring glance, and it may occur from someone who is envious, loves the object, or even from a pious or wicked person.

**Al-Hafizh Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) said:**

‘Ain is a gaze mixed with envy that originates from an evil nature and can cause harm to the person being looked at. (Fathul Bari 10/200)

💭 *Al-Hafidz, may Allah have mercy on him, also said:*

‎"The ‘ain (evil eye) can occur along with admiration, even without envy, whether it comes from someone who loves or from a righteous person."

📚 *Fathul Bari 10/205*

‎💡 *This indicates the great harm that Allah has created in the ‘ain (evil eye), to the extent that it can kill. Therefore, it should not be taken lightly.*

💭 *An-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, said:*

‎"In this hadith, there is a confirmation of belief in Allah's decree and the truth of the matter of the ‘ain (evil eye), and that it is indeed very dangerous."

📚 *Fathul Bari 10/205*

💭 *Ibn Hajar, may Allah have mercy on him, said:*

‎"The affliction by the ‘ain (evil eye) can indeed kill, and there is a difference of opinion among the scholars regarding the application of qisas (retaliation) in this matter."

📚 *Fathul Bari 10/205*

🥀 *Ways to heal those afflicted by the ‘ain (evil eye):*

🍀 *By performing ruqyah (incantation). The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said:*

‎"There is no ruqyah (that is more beneficial) except for the evil eye or a disease caused by a poisonous creature."

📚 *Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim from Buraidah bin Al-Husayb, may Allah be pleased with him.*

🍀 *Parents should pray with supplications, dhikr (remembrance), and ta’awwudh (seeking refuge) that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, taught for their children, such as reciting the mu’awadhatain (Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas).*

*Additionally, there is a supplication recited by Angel Jibril, peace be upon him, when the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was afflicted by a devil:*

‎"In the name of Allah, I perform ruqyah for you from everything that harms you, from the evil of every soul and envious eye. May Allah cure you."

🍀 *Seeking refuge in Allah is the best protection from the ‘ain (evil eye) and from all harm. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, sought refuge for Al-Hasan and Al-Husain, may Allah be pleased with them, from the ‘ain (evil eye), as narrated by Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:*

‎"The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to seek refuge for Al-Hasan and Al-Husain, and he would say, 'Indeed, your father (referring to Prophet Ibrahim, peace be upon him) used to seek refuge for Ismail and Ishaq with these words: 'I seek refuge for you both in the perfect words of Allah from every devil, every harmful creature, and every envious eye.'"

📚 *Narrated by Al-Bukhari*

🍀 *By asking the person who looked with admiration to bathe or perform ablution, and then using the leftover water on the one afflicted by the ‘ain, as narrated in the hadith of Sahl bin Hunaif:*

‎"If it is known that someone has afflicted another with the ‘ain or there is suspicion of it, the person who gave the evil eye is instructed to wash for the benefit of his brother. A container of water is brought, and the person washes his hands in it, rinses his mouth, and spits the water into the container. He then washes his face in the container, puts his left hand in it, and pours water over his right knee. Then, he puts his right hand in and pours water over his left knee. He then washes his garment, and the water is poured over the head of the afflicted person from behind, and by Allah’s permission, he will be cured."

📚 *Fatawa Lajnah Daimah 1/186*

💡 *Or in another way, by using a single vessel, the person washes their face, hands, elbows, knees, the tips of their feet, and inside their garment. Then, the water used for washing is poured over the afflicted person.*

📚 *Narrated by Malik in Al-Muwatta 2/938, Ibn Majah, and authenticated by Ibn Hibban*

💭 *Ibnul Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said:*

‎"This method will not benefit those who deny it, mock it, doubt it, or perform it just to try it without belief."

📚 *Fathul Bari 10/205*

*(One must believe that this is a treatment established by the Shariah and not merely a trial, as modern medicine cannot understand or prove it.)*

📝 *And for someone who might unintentionally afflict others with the ‘ain (which could be any of us), it is recommended to follow the practice mentioned below:*

‎*Q: If someone sees something that amazes them, should they say ما شاء الله تبارك الله (Masha Allah Tabarak Allah) or ما شاء الله تبارك الله لا قوة إلا بالله (Masha Allah Tabarak Allah La Quwwata Illa Billah)? Are all of these phrases correct?*

💭 *Shaykh Al-Uthaymeen, may Allah have mercy on him, replied:*

*If someone sees something amazing in their wealth, they should say:*

‎ما شاء الله لا قوة إلا بالله

*As in the story of the two garden owners, when his companion said to him:*

‎"If only when you entered your garden, you had said ما شاء الله لا قوة إلا بالله (Masha Allah, La Quwwata Illa Billah)."*

*This is when you are amazed by your wealth.*

*If you see it in someone else's possession, then you should say:*

‎بارك الله عليه

*(May Allah bless it for him) or a similar phrase.*

*If you see something worldly that amazes you, then you should say:*

‎لبيك إن العيش عيش الآخرة

*Labbaik (I respond to Your call), for true life is the life of the Hereafter."*

*This is as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to say Labbaik and then follow it with: "Indeed, the true life is the life of the Hereafter."*

*This is to remind oneself that no matter how great the world appears, it is transient, and the true life is in the Hereafter.*

📚 *Fatawa Nur Ala Al-Darb, Tape No. 321*

💭 *The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:*

‎"If any of you sees something in his brother, in himself, or in his wealth that amazes him, he should pray for blessings upon it, for the ‘ain (evil eye) is real."

📚 *Narrated by Ahmad, Al-Hakim, and authenticated by Al-Albani in Al-Silsilah As-Saheehah*

‘Ain的疾病及其治疗

**来自WhatsApp群组Nashihatulinnisa的乌姆·豪拉·平朗的提问：**

_"请问，有人知道如何治疗婴儿的‘Ain疾病吗？除了诵读保护‘Ain的祈祷词外，如果孩子已经受到了‘Ain的影响，还能做些什么呢？"_

---

**向谢赫穆罕默德·萨利赫·乌赛敏的提问：**

**"预防‘Ain是否与托靠真主相悖？"**

预防‘Ain是允许的，并不与托靠真主相悖；事实上，这是托靠的一部分，因为托靠是依赖真主，同时采取允许或推荐的手段。先知穆罕默德（愿主赐他平安）会为哈桑和侯赛因寻求保护，他会说：

_"我以真主完美的话语，寻求对你们俩的保护，免受每个恶魔、有毒生物和每一个有害眼睛的侵害。"_（提尔密济和艾布·达伍德）

这是易卜拉欣先知（愿主赐他平安）为他的儿子伊斯哈格和伊斯玛仪（愿主赐他们平安）所说的。（谢赫伊本·乌赛敏法特瓦 2/117, 118）

**谢赫穆罕默德·本·萨利赫·乌赛敏（愿主怜悯他）关于如何防护‘Ain：**

他表示，防护‘Ain是允许的，并不否定对真主的依赖。事实上，这是托靠的一部分，因为托靠是依赖真主，同时采取允许或指令的措施。

先知（愿主赐他平安）曾为哈桑和侯赛因诵读以下祈祷词以寻求保护：

_"我以真主完美的话语，寻求对你们俩的保护，免受每个恶魔、有毒生物和每一个有害眼睛的侵害。"_（提尔密济和艾布·达伍德）

他还说，如果有什么可以先于命运，那就是‘Ain。如果有人请求你洗澡以治疗‘Ain影响的人，那就照做。（穆斯林）

**伊本·卡伊姆在《Zaadul Ma’ad》中的解释：**

‘Ain的影响不仅依赖于看到物体；即使是盲人也可以通过描述某物而在没有看到的情况下用‘Ain影响它。许多案例表明，‘Ain可以通过想象而非直接目击发生。（《Zaadul Ma’ad》 4/153）

先知还警告过‘Ain的危险，指出他社区中大多数的死亡，除了真主的命令外，都是由于‘Ain的影响。（布哈里）

**关于‘Ain的治疗：**

有一次，阿米尔·本·拉比阿看到萨赫勒·本·胡奈夫在洗澡，并称赞了他美丽的皮肤。不久后，萨赫勒病倒了，先知（愿主赐他平安）被召来。他询问他们怀疑是谁，得知是阿米尔。随后，先知指示阿米尔进行小净（wudhu），并将他的小净水倒在萨赫勒身上，结果他痊愈了。（伊本·马吉）

同样，先知看到一个女孩脸上有一个黑斑，他指示对她进行驱邪治疗，因为她受到了‘Ain的影响。（布哈里和穆斯林）

在另一个案例中，先知建议阿斯玛·宾图·乌迈斯对贾法尔·本·艾布·塔利布的孩子们进行驱邪治疗，因为他们受到了‘Ain的影响。（穆斯林）

**结论：**

‘Ain的疾病可能由嫉妒或赞叹的目光引起，它可能来自一个嫉妒的人、爱这个事物的人，甚至是一个虔诚的人或邪恶的人。

**伊玛目伊本·哈吉尔（愿主怜悯他）说：**

‘Ain是一种带有嫉妒的目光，源于邪恶的本性，可能对被看的人造成伤害。（《法图赫·巴里》10/200）

💭 *哈菲兹·拉希马胡拉也曾说过：*

‎"邪眼可能会伴随着赞叹而发生，即使没有嫉妒，无论是来自爱的人还是来自虔诚的人。"

📚 *《法图赫·巴里》 10/205*

💡 *这表明了真主在邪眼中创造的巨大危害，甚至可以致命，所以不要轻视它。*

💭 *纳瓦维·拉希马胡拉说：*

‎"在这段圣训中，确立了对真主命运的信仰，以及邪眼问题的真实性，而且它确实非常危险。"

📚 *《法图赫·巴里》 10/205*

💭 *伊本·哈吉尔·拉希马胡拉说：*

‎"邪眼的影响确实可能致命，学者们对此是否应用报复法存在分歧。"

📚 *《法图赫·巴里》 10/205*

🥀 *治疗被邪眼影响者的方法：*

🍀 *通过诵读驱邪咒文。先知穆罕默德（愿主福安之）说：*

‎"除了对抗邪眼或毒物引起的疾病，驱邪咒文没有更有益的。"

📚 *布哈里和穆斯林从布赖达·本·侯赛布（愿主喜悦他）的传述。*

🍀 *父母应为孩子们诵读祈祷词、念词和求庇护的祷词，这些都是先知（愿主福安之）教导的，其中包括诵读两章庇护经（《人章》和《黎明破晓章》）。*

*此外，还有一段天使吉卜利勒（愿主赐他平安）在先知（愿主福安之）受到恶魔骚扰时诵读的祈祷词：*

‎"以真主之名，我为你诵读驱邪咒文，以驱除一切困扰你的事物，免受每个邪恶的灵魂和嫉妒眼的侵害。愿真主治愈你。"

🍀 *寻求真主庇护是对抗邪眼及一切危害的最佳保护。先知（愿主福安之）曾为哈桑和侯赛因（愿主喜悦他们）寻求真主庇护，以免受邪眼的影响，如同伊本·阿巴斯（愿主喜悦他）所说：*

‎"先知（愿主福安之）曾为哈桑和侯赛因寻求庇护，并对他们说：“你们的父亲（指伊布拉希姆先知，愿主赐他平安）曾为伊斯玛仪和伊萨克寻求庇护，他诵读：‘我以真主完美的话语，为你们俩寻求庇护，远离每一个魔鬼、每一个有害生物，以及每一个嫉妒的眼睛。’"

📚 *布哈里圣训集*

🍀 *要求看得出赞叹之人洗澡或做小净，然后将剩下的水洒在受邪眼影响者身上，如同在撒赫勒·本·胡奈夫的圣训中所述：*

‎"如果知道某人因邪眼而影响了别人，或者怀疑某人的目光带有邪眼，那么应要求这位目光产生者为他的兄弟洗澡。他准备一个装满水的容器，将手放入其中，用水漱口，然后将水吐入容器中。他再洗脸，用左手将水倒在右膝盖上，再用右手将水倒在左膝盖上，然后洗他穿的衣物，并将水从受邪眼影响者的后脑勺上浇下，凭借真主的许可，他将得到痊愈。"

📚 *常设委员会法特瓦 1/186*

💡 *或采用另一种方式：使用一个容器，将脸、手、肘、膝盖、脚尖和衣物内侧洗净。然后将洗净后的水倒在受邪眼影响者身上。*

📚 *马立克《穆瓦塔》 2/938，伊本·马吉圣训集，并由伊本·希班认证*

💭 *伊本·卡伊姆·拉希马胡拉说：*

‎"这种治疗方法对于那些否认它、嘲笑它、怀疑它或只是尝试而不相信的人是无效的。"

📚 *《法图赫·巴里》 10/205*

*(必须相信这是一种由伊斯兰教法确立的治疗方法，而不仅仅是试试看，现代医学无法理解或证明它。)*

📝 *对于可能无意中对他人造成邪眼影响的人（我们中的任何一个人），建议遵循以下做法：*

‎*问题：如果有人看到让他惊叹的事物，他应该说 ما شاء الله تبارك الله (真主所愿，真主赐福) 还是 ما شاء الله تبارك الله لا قوة إلا بالله (真主所愿，真主赐福，除真主外无任何力量)？这些说法都正确吗？*

💭 *谢赫·乌赛敏（愿主怜悯他）回答说：*

*如果有人对自己的财富感到惊叹，他应当说：*

‎ما شاء الله لا قوة إلا بالله
