Dua Seeing What Pleases

From Miscellaneous Azkar — Hisnul Muslim

The supplication of blessing is one of the miscellaneous azkar the Prophet ﷺ taught as protection against the evil eye. Whenever something about a brother's wealth, child, or state pleases you, you pray for blessing upon it instead of letting envy settle in your heart.
