Shaykh Muhammad bin Saaleh al-‘Uthaymeen [May
Allaah have Mercy on him] was asked:
If someone sees something that he likes, should he say ‘ما شاء الله تبارك الله’ (i.e. That which Allaah has Willed has come to Pass, Blessed by Allaah) or ‘ما شاء الله تبارك الله لا قوة إلا بالله’ (i.e. That which Allaah has Willed has come to Pass, Blessed by Allaah, there is no Power except with Allaah)?
If someone sees something that he likes, should he say ‘ما شاء الله تبارك الله’ (i.e. That which Allaah has Willed has come to Pass, Blessed by Allaah) or ‘ما شاء الله تبارك الله لا قوة إلا بالله’ (i.e. That which Allaah has Willed has come to Pass, Blessed by Allaah, there is no Power except with Allaah)?
He [May Allaah have Mercy on him] replied:
All Praise are due for Allaah, the Lord of the
Creation. May the Peace and Blessings of Allaah be Upon our Prophet Muhammad,
His Family, His Companions and those who follow them until the Day of
Recompense.
If a person sees something that he likes from
his wealth, he should say:
ما شاء الله لا قوة إلا بالله
As it has been narrated in the story of the two
people who had gardens, one of the owners of the garden told the owner of the
other garden:
"It was better
for you to say, when you entered your garden: 'That which Allah wills (will
come to pass)! There is no power but with Allah '. If you see me less than you
in wealth, and children.” [Al-Khaf 18:39]
This is in relation to something you own and you
like it.
However, if you see something that you like from
the wealth of other people then one should say:
بارك الله عليه
‘May Allaah Bless it’ or the likes[1].
However, if you see something that you like from
the affairs of the Dunya, then one should say:
لبيك ان العيش عيش الاخرة
I am at Your Service! Verily, the
true life is the life of the Aakhira[2].
As the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be
Upon him] said.
I am at Your Service, Oh Lord: meaning I have
responded to Your Call and Command.
Verily, the true life is the life of
the Aakhira: meaning the person reinforces within himself
that the life of the Dunya and everything that it has, will cease and there is
no real life in it, and that the true life is the life of the Aakhira.

The Best way of Supplicating for Someone’s
Wealth to be Blessed:
Shaykh Maahir bin Dhaafer
al-Qahtaanee [May Allaah Preserve him] said:
Barakah means to have an
increase or a growth in something
Tabreek: is the
supplication one does for another for something to be blessed (i.e. have
Barakah in something)
Imaam as-Suyootee [May
Allaah have Mercy on him] said in ad-Debaaj Sharh Saheeh Muslim bin al-Hajjaaj
(2/138):
Barakah or a blessing in
something is to seek to have something increased in goodness. Others said
Barakah refers to something being purified and others said Barakah means to
have something affirmed, for example, the camel is firm (Barakat) in the earth.
As for the meaning of the
statement of the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be Upon him], “Have you
not blessed it?” meaning, have you not supplicated for the person to be
blessed?
And it is not correct to
say, ‘Ma Sha Allaah, Tabaarak Allaah’ because this is not what is meant by the
wording in the Hadeeth, “Have you not blessed it?” Also, if one says ‘Tabaarak
Allaah’ then this is also not correct because the meaning of ‘Tabaarak Allaah’
means to Praise and Magnify Allaah, thus it is a form of remembering Allaah and
it is not a supplication, so it has nothing to do with making supplication for
the person who we seek to protect from evil eye.
Imaam Ibn al-Qayyim [May
Allaah have Mercy on him] said:
If one fears that
he will give someone evil eye or something from their possessions then he
should supplicate for that person or thing by saying:
اللهم بارك عليه
“Oh Allaah
Bless him in it”
Just as the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of
Allaah be Upon him] commanded ‘Aamir bin Rabee’ah.
[Zaad al-Ma’aad (4/162-174)]
Haafidh Ibn Hajr [May Allaah have Mercy on
him] said:
If you see something that you like then it is
a must that you hasten to make Dua’a for the owner by asking it for it to be
blessed, this will protect it.
[Fath al-Baaree (10/205)]
[1] The Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be Upon him] said, “If
you see something that you like in himself or something his brother may have
then supplicate for it to be blessed, because the evil eye is real.” [Reported
by Imaam Maalik in his Muwatta’ (2/938); Haakim in Mustadarak (4/240) and classified
as Saheeh by al-Albaanee in Saheeh al-Jaami’ (556)]
[2] [Narrated by Imaam ash-Shaafi’ee in al-Umm (2/170), attributed to
Mujaahid, so the narration is Mursal, however this statement has been acted
upon by the people of knowledge, it is permissible to say this if one see
something that he likes from the Dunya or if one is afflicted with harm or in
times of ease, in order for the person not to forget his true life in the
Aakhira: see: Sharh Saheeh Muslim of Imaam an-Nawawee (8/91), Sunan al-Kubraa of
Imaam al-Bayhaqee (7/77), at-Taj wa al-Ikleel (5/18) and Sharh al-Mumti of Ibn
al-‘Uthaymeen (3/124)]
