Qurʾān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Bukhārī Muslim Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Nasāʾī Ibn Mājah Dārimī Aḥmad Mālik Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Bazzār Ibn Khuzaymah Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī

The evil eye is real

bazzar:4247 – ʿAmr b. ʿAlī > Maymūn b. Zayd > Layth b. Abī Sulaym > Ṭāwūs > Ibn ʿAbbās

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The evil eye is real, and if you are asked to wash, then wash."

This statement, we do not know it to be narrated from the Prophet ﷺ with this wording except through this route, with this chain. Maymun ibn Zayd is a man from the people of Basrah; there is no problem with him.

البزّار:٤٢٤٧ – حَدَّثنا عَمْرو بن علي قَال حَدَّثنا مَيْمُونُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَن لَيْثٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أبي سليم عَن طاوُوس عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُول اللهِ ﷺ: «الْعَيْنُ حَقٌّ، وَإِذَا اسْتُغْسِلْتُمْ فَاغْسِلُوا».

وَهَذَا الْكَلامُ لا نَعْلَمُهُ يُرْوَى عَن النَّبِيّ ﷺ بِهَذَا اللَّفْظِ إلاَّ مِن هَذَا الْوَجْهِ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ، وَمَيْمُونُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ لَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ.
