54.10 Saying: "May Allah Have Mercy On You" To One Who Sneezes, And Yawning Is Disliked

٥٤۔١٠ باب تَشْمِيتِ الْعَاطِسِ وَكَرَاهَةِ التَّثَاؤُبِ

(1884) bukhari:6221Muḥammad b. Kathīr > Sufyān > Sulaymān > Anas b. Mālik

Two men sneezed before the Prophet. The Prophet ﷺ said to one of them, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on you," but he did not say that to the other. On being asked (why), the Prophet ﷺ said, "That one praised Allah (at the time of sneezing), while the other did not praise Allah."  

(١٨٨٤) البخاري:٦٢٢١حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ قَالَ

عَطَسَ رَجُلاَنِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَشَمَّتَ أَحَدَهُمَا وَلَمْ يُشَمِّتِ الآخَرَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَقَالَ هَذَا حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَهَذَا لَمْ يَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ
