The Prophet ﷺ said:

إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ أَخِيهِ، أَوْ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، أَوْ مِنْ مَالِهِ مَا يُعْجِبُهُ، فَلْيُبَرِّكْهُ فَإِنَّ الْعَيْنَ حَقٌّ

Idha ra'a ahadukum min akhih, aw min nafsih, aw min malihi ma yu'jibuh, falyubarrikhu fa innal-'ayna haqq

When one of you sees in his brother, or in himself, or in his wealth something that pleases him, let him ask for blessing upon it, for the evil eye is real.
