Are the Hadiths: "Half of your graves are from your eyes," and "If fate and the evil eye were to race, the evil eye would outrun fate," and "Do not kill your brethren; why don't you bless them? Indeed, half of my Ummah will die from the evil eye" from the sayings of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him?

The evil eye is real, and most of those who die from the Ummah, after Allah’s decree and destiny, die due to the evil eye. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The evil eye is real. If anything were to precede divine decree, the evil eye would precede it." He also commanded, peace and blessings be upon him, that the person who afflicted his brother with the evil eye should perform ghusl: he should wash his face, hands, elbows, knees, the ends of his feet, and the inside of his lower garment in a vessel, then pour that water over the afflicted person.
