Combining Fear of the Evil Eye with Speaking of One’s Blessings

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: How does a person combine his fear of the evil eye when he is informed of the good he has, with the saying of the Exalted:
But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
[Ad-Duhaa 93:11]
?

Answer:
Yes, indeed. It is a hadith, and he should do as Allah commanded him, for Allah has bestowed upon him. This is part of giving thanks for the blessing: speaking of it openly, acknowledging it inwardly, and spending it in obedience to Allah. These are the pillars of gratitude. Yes.
