"عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَم قَالَ: عَطَسَ رَجُلٌ في الصَّلَاةِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَعْرَابِىٌّ إلى جَنْبِهِ: رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ -تَعَالَى- قَالَ الأَعْرَابِىُّ فَنَظَرَ إِلىَّ الَقْومُ فَقُلْتُ وامكلاه (*)، مَا بَالُهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ إلَىَّ؟ فَضَرَبُوا بِأَكُفِّهمْ عَلَى أَفْخَاذِهِمْ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبىُّ ﷺ صَلَاتَهُ دَعَانِى، فَقَالَ الأَعْرَابِىُّ: بِأَبِى هُوَ وَأُمِّى، مَا رَأَيْتُ مُعَلِّمًا قَطُّ خَيْرًا مِنْهُ، وَاللَّهِ مَا أكرهنى (* *) وَلَا شَتَمَنِى، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ لا يَصْلُحُ فِيهَا شَىْءٌ مِنْ كَلَامِ النَّاسِ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ تَسْبِيحٌ وَتَكْبِيرٌ وَتَهْلِيلٌ وَقِرَاءَة قرآنٍ".

[Machine] While I was with the Prophet ﷺ , a man from the people sneezed, so I said, "May Allah have mercy on you." The people stared at me with their eyes. I said, "May their mothers be excused, why are you looking at me?" He (the Prophet) said, "The people struck their hands on their thighs." When I saw that they silenced me, I remained silent. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished, I did not see a better teacher before or after him. Verily, he did not strike me, nor did he humiliate me, nor did he curse me. But he said, 'Indeed, our prayer is not for the purpose of talking to people, rather it is for glorifying Allah, praising Him, and reciting the Quran.'"

[Machine] I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and a man among the people sneezed. So I said, "May Allah have mercy on you" or "May Allah have mercy on all of you." Then the people stared at me, so I said, "May my mother and father be sacrificed for me" (a common Arabic expression of confusion or surprise), then they began hitting their thighs with their hands. I realized that the people were trying to silence me with their eyes. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished the prayer, I have never seen a teacher who was more gentle in teaching than him, neither before nor after him. He did not scold, reproach, or insult me. He said, "In this prayer, there is no place for people's speech. It is only for glorifying Allah, declaring His greatness, and reciting the Quran." "And Ayyub did not mention 'Ata' ibn Yasar in his narration."

[Machine] While we were praying with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , a man from the people sneezed, so I said, "May Allah have mercy on you." The people stared at me with their eyes, so I said, "May my mother lose me, what is the matter with you, staring at me?" They started hitting their thighs with their hands. When I saw them quieting down, I remained silent. After the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he turned to me and said, "By my father and mother, I have never seen a teacher before him or after him who taught better than him. By Allah, he did not scold me, insult me, or hit me." He said, "This prayer is not suitable for anything from the speech of the people. Rather, it is only for glorifying Allah, exalting Him, and reciting the Quran, or as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said."

[Machine] While I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in prayer, a man from the people sneezed, so I said, "May Allah have mercy on you." The people stared at me with their eyes, so I said, "Shame on you! Why are you staring at me?" He said, "They struck their hands on their thighs." He said, "When I saw them silence me, I remained silent." He said, "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished the prayer, he called me and said, 'By my father and mother, O Messenger of Allah, I have never seen a teacher before him, nor after him, who taught better than him. By Allah, he did not shout at me, strike me, or insult me.'" He said, "Indeed, our prayer is not suitable for anything from the speech of the people. It is only for takbeer, tasbeeh, and recitation of the Quran."
