Source & Authentication

Sahih Muslim (2186) narrated that Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to seek refuge (in Allah) from the Jinn and the evil eye until the Surahs of seeking refuge (Al-Falaq and An-Nas) were revealed. When they were revealed, he took to reciting them for protection and gave up everything else.' Another narration by Muslim (2186) states: 'Jibril came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Muhammad, you are suffering from an eye (ailment)." He said: "Yes." He (Jibril) said: "In the name of Allah, I perform Ruqyah for you from everything that harms you, from the evil of every soul or envious eye. May Allah cure you. In the name of Allah, I perform Ruqyah for you."
