Prayer for Looking at Living creatures

It is narrated from Imam Ali (a) that the Prophet (a) said,

«إِذَا نَظَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى إِنْسَانٍ أَوْ إِلَى دَابَّةٍ أَوْ إِلَى شَيْءٍ حَسَنٍ فَأَعْجَبَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ:

"آمَنْتُ بِاللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ."

فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ تَضُرَّهُ عَيْنُهُ.»

“Whenever one of you looks at a human, an animal or a beautiful thing and it makes you wonder, then you should say,

ĀMANTU BILLĀHI ṢALLALLĀHU ʿALA MUḤAMMAD.

‘I came to believe in God, may God bless Muhammad (a).’

And then, evil eyes would not harm them.”[1]

The Narration:

عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عليه‌السلام عن رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله.‏

Narrated From Imam Jafar b. Muhammad from His father from His grandfather Imam Ali b. Husain from His father from Imam Ali b. Abi-Talib from the Noble Prophet.
