To Dispel Magic And Spell
It has been narrated from Muhammd bin Isa who said: “I asked him about magic and spell. He replied: it is true and it harms with the Divine permission. Whenever you are spelled, lift your hands up and hold them before your face and read this to your hand:
بِسْمِ اللهِ الْعَظِيمِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ.
In the name of Allah, the Great, the Lord of the Great Throne.
Verily, the magic shall be abolished and perished. Also, Muhammad ibn Isa narrated that a man asked Imam Reza (A.S) about the evil eye. Imam replied: the evil eye is true. Whenever you are harmed by it, put your both palms in front of your face and recite these surahs Hamd, Tawhid, Falaq, Nas into your hands and pat your cheeks and ears. For sure, this act will be beneficial and the evil eye will be destroyed.
