A‘udhu bikalimatillahit-tammati min kulli shaytanin wa hammatin, wa min kulli ‘aynin lammah.
I seek protection in Allah’s perfect words from every devil, every harmful creature, and every harmful eye.
Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. Qul a‘udhu bi-Rabbil-falaq. Min sharri ma khalaq. Wa min sharri ghasiqin idha waqab. Wa min sharrin-naffathati fil-‘uqad. Wa min sharri hasidin idha hasad.
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Giver of Mercy. Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak, from the evil of what He created, from the evil of darkness when it falls, from the evil of those who blow on knots, and from the evil of an envier when he envies.
Protection in the cited sources
Sahih al-Bukhari 3371 describes protection sought for al-Hasan and al-Husayn. The quoted wording on this page follows that specific report; the fact that children are mentioned does not justify silently changing its Arabic grammatical form.
Al-Falaq is a Quranic chapter of seeking refuge. Its wording should be read as Quran, with its full context and accurate recitation, rather than as evidence that an ordinary setback identifies an envious person.
Avoiding accusations and diagnosis
Feeling unwell, having a difficult week or experiencing conflict is not enough to identify an evil eye. Keep religious supplication separate from medical assessment and from claims about another person’s hidden motives.
Do not pressure someone to provide objects, disclose private information or accept a paid treatment on the basis of an accusation. A protective prayer does not establish that a named individual is responsible for harm.
Learning and using the texts
Read the meanings, learn the Arabic carefully and consult a competent teacher about any specific practice you are considering. If a routine includes a repetition count, ask which narration supports that count for that occasion.
The bedtime practice involving the short surahs is a separate context. Its reported steps should not be transferred automatically into a newly invented evil-eye ritual.
Common questions
Does this page identify symptoms of nazar? No diagnostic list is provided. Should I confront someone I suspect? The texts do not justify an accusation. Can I keep receiving healthcare? Supplication can accompany appropriate care. Are all popular protective formulas identical? No; preserve the exact wording and attribution of each source rather than combining variants.
