Saying "Al-Hamdulillah" When Sneezing, Its Reply, and Manners Relating to Sneezing and Yawning
وَعَنْ أَبِي موسي رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ الْيَهُودُ يَتَعَاطَسُونَ عِنْدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْجُونَ أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُمْ: يَرْحَمُكُمُ اللَّهُ، فَيَقُولُ: ""يَهْدِيكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ" ((رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ، وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: حَدِيث حَسَن صَحِيح)).
Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Jews used to intentionally sneeze in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) hoping that he would say to them: 'Yarhamukum-ullah (may Allah have mercy on you),' but he would respond with: "Yahdikum-ullahu wa yuslihu balakum (may Allah guide you and render sound your state of affairs)." [Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi].
