Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: مَنْ رَأَى شَيْئًا فَأَعْجَبَهُ، فَقَالَ: مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ، لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ، لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ الْعَيْنُ يَعْنِي: لَا يُصِيبُهُ الْعَيْنُ
Translation: Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said: whoever sees something that amazes/pleases him, then says “Mashallah Laa Quwwata Illa Billah” the evil eye will not afflict him. (Ibn Sunni – 207)[1]
Imam Nawawi Rahimahullah states that one can also say the following to protect against the evil eye.[2]
اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ فِيهِ وَلَا تَضُرَّهُ
Translation: “O Allah, bless him and protect him from harm”
Therefore, one should make dua for the good things he sees with or on others and he may use the words above or any other similar words.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

وَيُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْعَائِنِ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ لِلْمُعِينِ بِالْبَرَكَةِ؛ فَيَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ فِيهِ وَلَا تَضُرَّهُ، وَأَنْ يَقُولَ: مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ،
