The hadith in question was narrated with the wording: "Most of those who die in my Ummah, after Allah's decree and destiny, die by the evil eye." Some narrated it with the wording: "Most of those who die in my Ummah, after Allah's decree and destiny, die by souls (al-anfus)," and they said that "souls" here means the evil eye. The hadith affirms divine decree and destiny, the truth of the evil eye, and the power of its harm.
