The Evil Eye

Qisas.com

There once was a strikingly handsome man called Hasan, Allah blessed him with an unblemished face and equally beautiful character. Most people loved Hasan but some were jealous of him and resented the attention he attracted.

One such an evil man was especially envious of our handsome friend, his name was Hasad. Hasad was so envious he wished harm upon Hasan and desired the blessings to be taken away from him. He devised a plot to fulfill his evil goal.

There was an old woman that lived in another village who was known to easily give the evil eye to people, by a mere glance she could effect a persons well being and cause to take away the blessing someone posessed. Hasad planned to show Hasan’s beautiful face to the woman thereby intstantly his blessings should be removed.

He waited for Hasan outside his work, he stood with the evil-eyed woman across the road far enough so as they would not be spotted.

Then Hasan came out of the building along with a few of his colleagues. Hasad pointed him out to the woman but the woman said she couldn’t tell which one was Hasan. he said:

“He’s the one wearing white, look again!”

The old woman squinted her eyes to focus but still couldn’t make out which one Hasan was. Getting impatient with the woman he said again:

“Look carefully he is the most handsome man from amongst the group”.

But still the woman could make him out. Hasad now very annoyed shouted:

“Can you not see? He’s standing next to the piller!”.

The woman had another look then looked at Hasad and replyed to him:

“How astonishing! You can see all the way over to that piller? You have amazing eyes, I wish I had your eye sight.”

In that very moment Hasad lost his eye sight.
