Translation: Sneezing is a blessing to man, and as a Muslim acknowledges Allah's countless favors to him, he should thank Him for every favor.
Translation: When a Muslim sneezes, he should remember the favor and thank Allah for it. Islam, being a Divine Message, deals with all issues comprehensively. It teaches us in the language of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .to thank Allah for our sneezes
It is obvious that when a Muslim sneezes and thanks Allah for it, that it becomes obligatory to for him to have an answer. We should pray to Allah that He (Allah) will guide him and improve his affairs. This is plain from Sunna.
We ask Allah to guide us to act upon the commandments of the Noble Koran and Sunna that we will attain prosperity. And now, let us see what Imam An-Nawawi compiled.]
447. Narrated by Abu-Huraira: ' The Prophet said: " Allah likes sneezing and dislikes yawning, so if someone sneezes and then praises Allah, then it is obligatory on every Muslim who hears him, to say: ' May Allah show Mercy on you (YarhamokAllah). " But as regards yawning, this is from Satan, so one must try one's best to stop it as much as possible. For if any one of you yawns, Satan laughs at him. " " " (Bukhari)
Translation: 448. Narrated Abu-Huraira: The Prophet said: " When one of you sneezes, he should say: ' Alhamdo Lillah (Praise is to Allah), ' and his brother should say to him: ' Yarhamokallah (Ma Allah have mercy on you) '. When he says this he [ the sneezer] should reply: ' YahdIkomyollah (May Allah guide you and give you well being). " " " " (Bukhari)
Translation: 449. Narrated Abu-Mousa: The Jews used to fake sneezing in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ so that he would pray for them: " Yarhamokomollah (May Allah show mercy at you). " He used to say to them:
Translation: " Yahdeekomollaho Wa yosliho Balakom (May Allah guide you and mend your affairs). " "
Translation: 450. Narrated Hilal ibn Yasaf: ' Sa im ibn Obayd was with some people on a journey. A man sneezed and prayed: " Al- Salamo Alayka (May peace be upon you). " Salem ibn Obayd said: " As-Sala mo Alayka Wa Ala Ommik (May peace be upon you and upon your mother). " It seemed that the man became angry at the words of Salem, so Salem said: " As to me, I did not say except what the Prophet ﷺ had said. A man sneezed in his presence and said: ' AsSala mo Alaykom, May peace be upon you, ' and the Prophet said: ' Alayka Wa la Ommik (May peace be upon you and upon your mother). ' If one of you sneezes, let him say: ' Al Hamdo Lillah Rabbil Alameen (Praise be to Allah, Lord of all that exists). " " " "
Translation: 451. Narrated Anas ibn Malik: ' Two men sneezed in the presence of the Messenger of Allah.The Messenger of Allah responded to one of them and did not respond to the second. The latter said: " Messenger of Allah! You have responded to him but you did not respond to me? " The Messenger of Allah said: " He praised Allah but you did not praise Allah. "
Translation: 452. Narrated Salama: ' A man sneezed in the presence of the Messenger of Allah while I was present. The Messenger of Allah said to him: " Yarhamokallah (May Allah show mercy on you). " Then, the man sneezed for a second time and the Messenger of Allah said to him: " You have caught a cold. " "
The other narrative includes that the Messenger of Allah said to him on the third time: " You have caught cold. " Commenting on this narrative Abu-Issa said: " The second narrative is sounder. "
