Re: Origin of dua for evil eye
Without commenting on the specific dua, weak Hadith were not thrown out in a bygone era, the amal in them are done upon approval or recommendation from Scholars.
The protection from evil eye, shayatin etc is really very simple and is in the Quran:
Last 3 surah of the Quran (recite as many times through out the day, specially after MAgrib salah, and in bed at night)
Al Fatiha (also referred to by the Prophet as ar Ruqya)
Ayatul Kursi (in Surah Al Baqarah)
Surah Al baqarah (reciting it repels the shayatiin)
keep all salaah regularly
stay in wudhu
The effectiveness of these will depend on the level of Imaan of the person reciting it. That is, the firm belief in the theological Oneness of Allah.
What is the theological Oneness? As opposed to just Oneness
This is sufficient, insha-Allah. No need for sheikh intervention, talisman, and hanging verses, or numbers or symbols on doors and walls etc (which leads to kufr, pleasure of shayatiin, and hell fire).
