i have heard that reciting Surah Al Mulk everynight , will protect from the punishment of the grave. Is this authentic ? Is the hadith below authentic? “One of the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) pitched a tent on a grave without knowing that it was a grave. Suddenly he heard a person from the grave reciting Surah al-Mulk till he completed it. So he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘Oh Messenger of Allah, I pitched my tent on a grave without realizing that is was a grave. Then suddenly I heard a person from the grave reciting Surah al-Mulk till he completed it.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘It is the defender, it is the deliverer- it delivers from the punishment of the grave.'”

I told my brother that there is a fear of shirk involved in such practices. but he claims that it is bad if they make a baby to wear that thing on his neck & it is OK to feed him or to burn the substance so that the baby could smell its smoke. I advise him by saying ” please be patient and look after the baby” but he insist and keep asking me for the substance. at last I give him by saying that I m free from what you’ve done but i wish if u could not do it. is his claim right or wrong? am I regarded as the one who have helped them on this? May Allah (exalted be He) reward you.

His claim is false and baseless and you should not have given it to him and gotten rid of it before.

My uncle came to visit us and see my brothers son(a baby ,1 and half a year) crying out loud. at this he (uncle) said the baby is afflicted by the evil eye and he gave us something a flour( or powder) like substance originally made from plant roots as a remedy for an evil eye. which is to feed the baby by mixing with food and drink as well as to make the baby wear this substance around his neck. my uncle give me this substance to give them for their baby by my hand by telling me the procedures, how to use it. yet I do not give them and it is still with me. now my brother is planning to go to my uncles village in order to find a medicine for an evil eye. and if my uncle tells him that he already give it to me that medicine(i.e substance); my brother will really fight with me. First, what is the ruling on this? What can I do plz ? did i give him before he went to the village?
