# Dua Against the Evil Eye

The Prophet (PBUH) said, "The evil eye is real" (Bukhari, Tibb 36, 5740; Muslim, Salam 41, 2187). Surat al-Falaq and Surat an-Nas are recited against it, and the Prophet recited the dua below to protect his grandsons Hasan and Husayn. Source: fatwa of the Diyanet High Council of Religious Affairs.
