Hilal ibn Yasar said: We were with Salim ibn Ubayd when a man from among the people sneezed and said: Peace be upon you. Salim said: And upon you and your mother. Later he said: Perhaps you found something (annoying) in what I said to you. He said: I wished you would not mention my mother with good or evil. He said: I have just said to you what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said. We were in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a man from among the people sneezed, saying: Peace be upon you! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: And upon you and your mother. He then said: When one of you sneezes, he should praise Allah. He further mentioned some attributes (of Allah), saying: The one who is with him should say to him: Allah have mercy on you, and he should reply to them: Allah forgive us and you.

that he was with some people on a journey, and a man among the people sneezed and he said: "As-Salamu Alaikum (peace be upon you)." So he (Salim) said: "'Alaika Wa 'Ala Ummik (upon you and upon your mother)." It seemed as if that bothered the man, so he said: "Indeed I have not said except what the Prophet ﷺ said; a man sneezed in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'As-Salamu 'Alaikum (peace be upon you)' so the Prophet ﷺ said: ''Alaika Wa 'Ala Ummik (upon you and upon your mother). When one of you sneezes let him say: "Al-Hamdulillahi Rabbil-'Alamin (All praise is due to the Lord of all that exists)" and let the one responding to him say: Yarhamukallah (May Allah have mercy upon you)" and let him reply: Yaghfirullah Li Walakum (May Allah forgive me and you both)."

[AI] "To say it, I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and a man sneezed, so he said, 'Peace be upon you,' and the man replied, 'And upon you and your mother,' then he said, 'When any of you sneezes, let him say Alhamdulillah ('Praise be to Allah') in every situation, or let him say Alhamdulillah Rabbil 'Alamin ('Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds'), and let him say to him, 'May Allah have mercy on you,' or, 'May Allah have mercy on you,' as Shakk Yahya said, and let him say, 'May Allah forgive me and you.'"
أَنْ أَقُولَهَا كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَعَطَسَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أُمِّكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ أَوِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَلْيُقَلْ لَهُ يَرْحَمُكُمُ اللهُ أَوْ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ شَكَّ يَحْيَى وَلْيَقُلْ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِي وَلَكُمْ

[AI] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Indeed, Allah the Exalted loves sneezing, so when one of you sneezes, it is binding upon every person who hears him to say, 'May Allah have mercy on you.'"
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يُحِبُّ الْعُطَاسَ فَإِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَحَقَّ عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ سَمِعَهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ
[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said: "If anyone of you sneezes, let him say "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah) in every situation, and let others say to him "Yarhamuk Allah" (May Allah have mercy on you), and let him say "Yahdikum Allah" (May Allah guide you) and "Yuslihu balaakum" (May Allah rectify your affairs). As for the chosen expression by the jurists of the people of Kufa in response to this greeting by the sneezer."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَلْيَقُولُوا لَهُ يَرْحَمُكُمُ اللَّهُ وَلْيَقُلْ يَهْدِيكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ «فَأَمَّا اللَّفْظَةُ الَّتِي اخْتَارَهَا فُقَهَاءُ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ لِلْعَاطِسِ فِي الْجَوَابِ فِي هَذِهِ التَّحِيَّةِ»

[AI] "If any of you sneezes, let them say Alhamdulillah (praise be to Allah), and let them be told Yarhamukumullah (may Allah have mercy on you). And when they are told Yarhamukumullah, let them say Yaghfirullah (may Allah forgive us and you). This is a preserved statement from the words of Abdullah when there is no one to authenticate his narration."
إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلْيُقَلْ لَهُ يَرْحَمُكُمُ اللَّهُ فَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُ يَرْحَمُكُمُ اللَّهُ فَلْيَقُلْ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لَنَا وَلَكُمْ «هَذَا الْمَحْفُوظُ مِنْ كَلَامِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِذَا لَمْ يُسْنِدْهُ مَنْ يعْتَمِدُ رِوَايَتَهُ»
[AI] "Peace be upon you and upon your mother." Then he asked him, so he said, "Perhaps you have found something about that." He said, "I do not like my mother to be mentioned." He said, "Salem and I were with the Prophet ﷺ when a man sneezed, so he said, 'Peace be upon you,' and the Prophet ﷺ said to him, 'Peace be upon you and upon your mother.' Then he said, 'When one of you sneezes, let him say, 'Alhamdulillah, Rabbil 'Alamin' (Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds), or 'Alhamdulillah 'Ala Kulli Hal' (Praise be to Allah in every circumstance), and let him say to him, 'May Allah have mercy on you,' and let him say, 'May Allah forgive me and you.' And Zaid ibn Qudama Sufyan al-Thawri followed up with his narration from Mansour."
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أُمِّكَ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ لَعَلَّكَ وَجَدْتَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَذْكُرَ أُمِّي فَقَالَ سَالِمٌ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ فَعَطَسَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أُمِّكَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ أَوِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَلْيُقَلْ لَهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ وَلْيَقُلْ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِي وَلَكُمْ وَقَدْ تَابَعَ زَائِدَةُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيَّ عَلَى رِوَايَتِهِ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ
ذِكْرُ مَا يُجِيبُ بِهِ الْعَاطِسُ مَنْ يُشَمِّتُهُ بِمَا وَصَفْنَاهُ
[AI] Salem greeted with "Peace be upon you, and upon your mother." Then the man found himself and Salem said to him, "Are you alright?" He replied, "I would prefer not to mention my mother with good or bad." Salem then said, "We were with the Messenger of Allah during a journey, and a man sneezed. The Messenger of Allah said, 'May peace be upon you.' The man replied, 'And upon you and your mother.' The Messenger of Allah said, 'When one of you sneezes, let him say praise be to Allah in every situation, or he may say praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds, and let him say to him, 'May Allah have mercy on you,' and he should say, 'May Allah forgive you.'"

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا عَطَسَ الرَّجُلُ فَلْيَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَلْيَقُلْ مَنْ حَوْلَهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ وَلْيَقُلْ هُوَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ يَهْدِيكُمُ اللهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿIf one of you sneezes, let him say, Praise be to Allah in all situations, and let those who are around him say: May Allah have mercy on you, and let him reply, May Allah guide you and rectify your condition.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 973)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلْ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَلْيَقُلِ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ يَهْدِيكَ اللهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكَ
[AI] We were with the Prophet ﷺ and a man sneezed, so he said, "Peace be upon you." Abu Hurairah said, "May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "And upon your mother." Then he said, "When one of you sneezes, let him say, 'Alhamdulillah, Rabbil 'Alamin (Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds) ' abundantly or 'Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli hal (Praise be to Allah in every circumstance).' Let whoever is with him say, 'Yarhamuk Allah (May Allah have mercy on you),' and let him reply, 'Yaghfirullah (May Allah forgive us) and you.'"
كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَعَطَسَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَعَلَى أُمِّكَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ كَثِيرًا أَوِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَلْيَقُلْ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ وَلْيَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِي وَلَكُمْ
[AI] I wish you did not mention my mother's name, neither in a good nor a bad way in front of people. He said to him, “I only said to you what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said.” A man sneezed and said, “Peace be upon you.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “And upon you and your mother.” The Prophet ﷺ also said, “When one of you sneezes, let him say: Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah) in every state, and let his brother or companion say to him: Yarhamuk Allah (May Allah have mercy on you), and let him say: Yaghfirullahu lana walakum (May Allah forgive us and you).”
وَدِدْتُ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تَذْكُرْ أُمِّي بِخَيْرٍ وَلَا بِشَرٍّ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّمَا قُلْتُ لَكَ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَطَسَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أُمِّكَ» وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَلْيَقُلْ لَهُ أَخُوهُ أَوْ صَاحِبُهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ وَيَقُولُ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لَنَا وَلَكُمْ
