Arabic hadith text
كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعوذ الحسن والحسين " أعيذكما بكلمات الله التامة ، من كل شيطان وهامة ، ومن كل عينِ لامة "
Translation
The Messenger of Allah used to seek protection for al-Hasan and al-Husayn, saying: I place you both under the protection of Allah's perfect words from every devil and every venomous creature, and from every harmful eye.
Translation notes
كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعوذ الحسن والحسين " أعيذكما بكلمات الله التامة ، من كل شيطان وهامة ، ومن كل عينِ لامة "
The witness renders this as an envious blameworthy eye; the Arabic says every lammah eye, commonly understood as a harmful or afflicting eye.
Should the Arabic sense of harm or the witness interpretation of envy be used?
