[Machine] Waki' used to attribute the protection of his garments to a covering (siṭr), even when he saw that a piece of wool had been removed from them, he placed it and then entered the water. I looked at him and aimed at him with my eyes, then I heard a sucking sound in the water, so I approached him and called him three times, but he did not answer me. So I went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him, and he came walking and entered the water until it seemed as if I were looking at the whiteness of his calves. He struck his chest and said, "O Allah, remove its heat, coldness, and inflammation." Then he stood up and the Prophet ﷺ said, "Whenever one of you sees something in himself, his wealth, or his brother that he likes, let him pray for blessings, for the evil eye is a reality."  

وَكِيعٌ يَعْنِي بِهِ السِّتْرَ حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَى أَنَّهُ قَدْ نَزَعَ جُبَّةً عَلَيْهِ مِنْ صُوفٍ فَوَضَعَهَا ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَاءَ قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَصَبْتُهُ بِعَيْنَي فَسَمِعْتُ لَهُ قَرْقَفَةً فِي الْمَاءِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَنَادَيْتُهُ ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يُجِبْنِي فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَجَاءَ يَمْشِي فَخَاضَ الْمَاءَ حَتَّى كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيَاضِ سَاقَيْهِ فَضَرَبَ صَدْرَهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ أَذْهِبْ عَنْهُ حَرِّهَا وَبَرْدَهَا وَوَصَبَهَا» فَقَامَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ أَوْ مَالِهِ أَوْ أَخِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ فلْيُبَرِّكْ فَإِنَّ الْعَيْنَ حَقٌّ»
