Islam tells us about the Evil Eye, as several Hadith of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ support the fact. However, it is also a fact that many superstitious claims have been associated with it. In reality, these superstitious claims are far away from reality.
Today, we are reproducing some Hadith about the Evil Eye with proper references so that people can differentiate between true and false statements concerning the Evil Eye in Islam.

There are many Muslims who don’t believe in the existence of Evil Eye. This Hadith is for those people.

Seek refuge against evil eye
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to seek refuge from the evil eye of the Jinn and the evil eye of humans. When Al-Mu’awwadhatan were revealed, he started to recite them and stopped reciting anything else.” – Sunan an-Nasa’i 5494
