اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، عَنْ سُمَيٍّ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا عَطَسَ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ ، أَوْ ثَوْبَهُ عَلَى فِيهِ ، وَخَفَضَ أَوْ غَضَّ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ " , شَكَّ يَحْيَى .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sneezed, he placed his hand or a garment on his mouth, and lessened the noise. The transmitter Yahya is doubtful about the exact words khafada or ghadda (lessened).

From this hadith, it is understood that when sneezing, one should be considerate of others,
so that the particles expelled from the nose do not fall upon others.
Therefore, one should cover the mouth with the hand or a piece of cloth.
It can be inferred that Islam emphasizes not only etiquette and refinement but also cleanliness.

Benefit:
In this hadith, a ruling regarding sneezing is mentioned: at the time of sneezing, one should cover one’s mouth with a cloth, and the sound of the sneeze should be kept low, not such that it frightens people.
From this hadith, it is understood how complete the religion of Islam is, and all praise is due to Allah. It is unfortunate that Muslims do not even try to understand the religion.
