from his father: "A man sneezed in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while I was present, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Yarhamukallah (May Allah have mercy upon you).' Then he sneezed a second and third time. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "This man is suffering from a cold.'"
عَطَسَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ عَطَسَ الثَّانِيَةَ وَالثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَذَا رَجُلٌ مَزْكُومٌ
