The question

What is the authenticity of the supplication: "A restrainer has restrained, a dry stone. The eye of the envier is turned back upon him and upon the dearest people to him. So return [your] vision, do you see any breaks? Then return [your] vision twice again. [Your] vision will return to you humbled while it is fatigued," for protection against envy?

The answer

The supplication: "In the name of Allah, a restrainer has restrained, and a dry stone, and a blazing meteor. I have turned back the eye of the envier upon him, and upon the dearest of people to him, in his kidneys and his liver, and in his fitting wealth. So return the gaze, do you see any fissure? Then return the gaze twice, [your] gaze will return to you humbled while it is fatigued" (Qur'an 67:3-4) was mentioned by some scholars such as Ibn Asakir, Abu Nu'aym, Al-Manawi, and Ibn Al-Qayyim. It is narrated in the story of Abu Abdullah Al-Saji, who recited it, and the eye of the envier was repelled, and his she-camel stood up sound. This supplication is not a noble prophetic hadith; rather, it is a supplication recited by a righteous man.
