Question:
What du’as can I read that ward off evil eye and from people causing me harm?
Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
Thank you for your question.
Some recommended supplications and recitations are below:
أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ
A’udhu bi kalimatillaahi at-tamaati min sharri ma khalaq
(I seek refuge in the complete words of Allāh from the evil in what He has created.)
This is mentioned in a few Hadiths and also in Hisn-al-Muslim.
اَللّٰهُمَّ إنَّا نَجْعَلُكَ فِيْ نُحُوْرِهِمْ وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شُرُورِهِمْ
Allaahumma inna naj’aluka fi nuhurihim wa na’udhu bika min shururihim
(O Allah, We position You in their chests, and we seek refuge in You from any harm that may come to us from their side.)
This is from the following Hadith:
Narrated Abu Musa al-Ash’ari:
When the Prophet (ﷺ) feared a (group of) people, he would say: “O Allah, we make Thee our shield against them, and take refuge in Thee from their evils.”
(Sunan Abi Dawud 1537, Book 8, Hadith 122)
حَسْبُنَا ٱللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ ٱلْوَكِيلُ
Hasbiya Allah wa ni’ma al-wakil
(Allah is sufficient for me; He is the One who is the best to place one’s trust in)
This is from Surah Al-Imran and also mentioned in a Hadith from Riyadh-as-Saliheen as follows:
(Riyad as-Salihin 409)
And Allah knows best.
