Sihr (affect of evil eye)ย and envy (hasad) is true with evidence from the Qurโan and Sunnah and even the prophet peace be upon him was inflicted with sihr.
It was narrated that โAaโishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: A spell was put on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) until he imagined that he had done a thing when he had not done it. One day he made duโaaโ then he said: โDo you know that Allaah has shown me in what lies my cure? Two men came to me and one of them sat at my head and the other at my feet. One of them said to the other, โWhat is ailing the man?โ He said: โHe has been bewitched.โ He said: โWho has bewitched him?โ He said: โLabeed ibn al-Aโsam.โ He said, โWith what?โ He said: โWith a comb, the hair that is stuck to it, and the skin of pollen of a male date palm. He said: โWhere is it?โ He said, โIn the well of Dharwaan.โโ The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) went out to the well, then he came back and said to โAaโishah when he came back: โIts date palms are like the heads of devils.โ I said: โDid you take it out?โ He said: โNo. Allaah has healed me, and I feared that that might bring evil upon the people.โ Then the well was filled in.

Not everyone has a pure heart and will hope for you goodness even if they may appear they do.
The closest person you trusted can be the very person who will backstab you from jealousy and envy due to their own insecurities or love for competition, superiority and other motives and reasons.

The bedouin said, โHe has a slight mental derangement.โ
The Messenger of Allah ุตูู ุงููู ุนููู ูุณูู ย told him to bring his brother to him.ย So the bedouin brought his brother before the Messenger of Allah ุตูู ุงููู ุนููู ูุณูู , so he ุตูู ุงููู ุนููู ูุณูู ย read over him:

Imam Hฤkim says: โShaykhฤn (Bukhari and Muslim) have accepted the narrators of this Hadith, except for Abu Jannab al-Kalbi. But the Hadith isย Mahfลซzย andย Sahฤซhโฆโ
