50. The Evil Eye

موطأ مالك

1855
Malik Muwatta
حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏‏ إِذَا عَادَ الرَّجُلُ الْمَرِيضَ خَاضَ الرَّحْمَةَ حَتَّى إِذَا قَعَدَ عِنْدَهُ قَرَّتْ فِيهِ ‏"‏ ‏‏ أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا ‏‏
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard from Jabir ibn Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When a man visits an invalid, he plunges into mercy to the extent that when he sits with him, it settles in him," or the like of that.
