Official Transcript (English)

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'Why do I see the bodies of my brother's sons so thin? Is it due to need (lack of food)?' She (Asma bint 'Umais) said: 'No, but the evil eye is quick to affect them.' He said: 'Perform Ruqyah (incantation) for them.' She presented it to him, and he said: 'Perform Ruqyah for them.' (Muslim).

الجواب الكامل (باللغة العربية)

قال النَّبيُّ ﷺ: "ما لي أرى أجسام بني أخي ضارعة تصيبهم الحاجة". قالت: لا، ولكن العين تسرع إليهم، قال: «ارقيهم». قالت: فعرضت عليه، فقال: «ارقيهم». (مسلم).
