حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، " أَنَّ رَجُلًا عَطَسَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ ، ثُمَّ عَطَسَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : الرَّجُلُ مَزْكُومٌ " .
Salamah bin al-Akwa said: when a man sneezed beside the prophet ﷺ, he said to him: Allah have mercy on you, but when he sneezed again, he said: The man has a cold in the head.
