The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'When one of you sees something pleasing in himself or in his wealth or in his brother, let him invoke the blessings of Allah upon him, for the evil eye is real.' (Sunan Ibn Majah 3853). While this specific dua is a general expression of gratitude upon seeing good, the underlying principle of acknowledging Allah's blessings upon oneself and others is consistent with the broader teachings of the Prophet (peace be upon him) regarding recognizing and appreciating divine favor.
