It is tradition among many Muslims, that if a compliment is to be made, you are always supposed to say "Masha'Allah" (ما شاء الله) to ward off the evil eye; it literally means "whatever God wills". It is a testimony from someone that he/she believes that either good or bad it will only happen if God wants to. Dari-speakers in Afghanistan use the phrase "Nami Khuda" ([The] name of God) in place of "Mashallah", as well as a phrase with a similar purpose, "Chashmi bad dur" ([May] the evil eye [be] far). These phrases are found in Tajiki as well, in a slightly different form.
I'm sure there are more authoritative sources that others can provide, too.

However, the evil eye can never harm unless Allah wills so. Hence, it shouldn’t be a cause of fear or terror to anyone, for supreme power and might are for Almighty Allah alone and He is the Only One we should fear.
DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG?!?!?!?!!!!!!!
so shoudl i blame me for ...an attack of evil eye?!
Allah says, (But if ye persevere and keep from evil their guile will never harm you. Lo! Allah is Surrounding what they do.) (Aal `Imraan 3:120)
