Allahumma Barik Lana has another beautiful example that comes from our beloved Prophet S.A.W.

This incident is narrated by Abu Ummamah Bin Sahl Bin Hunaif,

‘’He said that Amir Bin Rabeeah was passing across Sahl Bin Hunaif while he was having a shower. He complimented after having a look at him that; ‘I have never seen such adorable skin before this’. Spontaneously, Sahl fell on the floor and got injuries. After this, he was presented before Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. He(P.B.U.H) said that, ‘’Sahl was fully fit but now he is not well. Whom do you accuse concerning to him?’’

Someone answered Him(P.B.U.H), It was Amir Bin Rabeeah’. Then said, ‘’Why would anyone of you kill his brother?’’ If he sees something beautiful or adorable, then say him blessing words like ‘allahummabarik (‘Oh Allah! bless him with more’). Then He(ﷺ) asked someone to bring water and then said ‘Amir Bin Rabeeah to take ablution’. He then washed his face and hands up to his elbows, knees, and feet. He(ﷺ) then asked him to collect that water with which he took ablution and asked him to sprinkle that water over his whole body.

The renowned Islamic scholar Ibn Al Qayyam (May Allah have mercy on him) once said;

‘’If any of you finds something precious or see something extremely beautiful, then say ‘Allahumma barik alayhi(May Allah bestow them)’. This must be used to avoid fear of evil eye which is harmful and causes distress of different levels. As the Prophet(ﷺ) said to Amir Ibn e Rabeeah; ‘’Did you not pray for barakah for him, when you look at Sahl Ibn Hunayf?’’ In simple words, did you not say Allahumma barik alayhi (Oh Dear Allah, bless him with more in it)?’’
