Sihr (affect of evil eye)ย  and envy (hasad) is true with evidence from the Qurโ€™an and Sunnah and even the prophet peace be upon him was inflicted with sihr.

It was narrated that โ€˜Aaโ€™ishah (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 duโ€™aaโ€™ then he said: โ€œDo 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, โ€˜What is ailing the man?โ€™ He said: โ€˜He has been bewitched.โ€™ He said: โ€œWho has bewitched him?โ€™ He said: โ€˜Labeed ibn al-Aโ€™sam.โ€™ He said, โ€˜With what?โ€™ He said: โ€˜With a comb, the hair that is stuck to it, and the skin of pollen of a male date palm. He said: โ€˜Where is it?โ€™ He said, โ€˜In the well of Dharwaan.โ€™โ€ The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) went out to the well, then he came back and said to โ€˜Aaโ€™ishah when he came back: โ€œIts date palms are like the heads of devils.โ€ I said: โ€œDid you take it out?โ€ He said: โ€œNo. 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.

Hazrat [Shaykhย al-Hadith Mawlana Zakariyya al-Kandhlawiโ€™s] son, Mawlanaย Talha ุญูุธู‡ ุงู„ู„ู‡, mentioned in the short introduction to one copy of theย Manzil โ€“ย that theย Manzilย is actually taken from a Hadith [of]ย Mustadrak.

The Hadith is mentioned in theย Mustadrakย of Hฤkim (vol.4, p.413):

Ubayy ibn Ka`b ุฑุถูŠ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู†ู‡ย said: I was with the Messenger of Allah ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุณู„ู…ย when a bedouin came and said: โ€œO Prophet of Allah, I have a brother who has a problem.โ€

The Messenger of Allah ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุณู„ู…ย asked, โ€œAnd what is his problem?โ€

The bedouin said, โ€œHe has a slight mental derangement.โ€

The Messenger of Allah ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุณู„ู…ย told him to bring his brother to him.ย So the bedouin brought his brother before the Messenger of Allah ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุณู„ู…, so he ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุณู„ู…ย read over him:

  1. Surat al-Fatihaย and the last four verses ofย Suratย al-baqarah.
  2. Two verses starting from: โ€œwa ilฤhukum ilฤhun Wฤhidun lฤ ilฤha illa huw al-Rahmฤn al-Rahฤซmโ€ย (2:163)
  3. Ayat al-Kursi
  4. Verse fromย Suratย ฤ€le Imrฤn: โ€œshahidallahu annahuโ€ฆโ€ ( 3:18)
  5. Verse fromย Surat al-A`rฤf: โ€œinna rabbakum Allah al-ladhi khalaqa al-samฤwฤtโ€ฆโ€ (7:54)
  6. Last verse fromย Surat al-Muโ€™minลซn: โ€œfa ta`ฤlฤ Allahu al-malik al-haqqโ€ฆโ€ (23:116)
  7. Verse fromย Surat al-Jinn: โ€œwa annahu ta`ฤlฤ jaddu rabbinaโ€ฆโ€œ(72:3)
  8. Ten verses from the beginning ofย Surat al-Sฤffฤtย (37: 1-10)
  9. Last 3 verses ofย Surat al-Hashrย (59)
  10. Suratย Ikhlasย andย Mu`awwadhatayn.

And when the Messenger of Allahย ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุณู„ู…ย read this upon him, he got up as if he never had a problem to complain about. (Mustadrakย of Hฤkim (vol.4, p.413)

Imam Hฤkim says: โ€œShaykhฤn (Bukhari and Muslim) have accepted the narrators of this Hadith, except for Abu Jannab al-Kalbi. But the Hadith isย Mahfลซzย andย Sahฤซhโ€ฆโ€
