Question
Is the following Hadith authentic?
Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said,
“Whoever among you sees something in himself or his brother, [of some possession/wealth] that he likes, let him make du’a for blessing [barakah] for it, because the evil eye is real.”
Answer
Imam Hakim (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration on the authority of Sayyiduna ‘Amir ibn Rabi’ah (radiyallahu ‘anhu). He has declared the Hadith authentic and Hafiz Dhahabi concurs.
(Mustadrak Hakim, vol. 4 pg. 215)
