بَابُ تَشْمِيتِ الرَّجُلِ الْمَرْأَةَChapter: Man responding to a woman's sneeze
Hadith 941
حَدَّثَنَا فَرْوَةُ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِشْكَابَ، قَالاَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي مُوسَى، وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِ ابْنَتِهِ أُمِّ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ، فَعَطَسْتُ فَلَمْ يُشَمِّتْنِي، وَعَطَسَتْ فَشَمَّتَهَا، فَأَخْبَرْتُ أُمِّي، فَلَمَّا أَتَاهَا وَقَعَتْ بِهِ وَقَالَتْ: عَطَسَ ابْنِي فَلَمْ تُشَمِّتْهُ، وَعَطَسَتْ فَشَمَّتَّهَا، فَقَالَ لَهَا: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ فَشَمِّتُوهُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ فَلاَ تُشَمِّتُوهُ“، وَإِنَّ ابْنَكِ عَطَسَ فَلَمْ يَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ، فَلَمْ أُشَمِّتْهُ، وَعَطَسَتْ فَحَمِدَتِ اللَّهَ فَشَمَّتُّهَا، فَقَالَتْ: أَحْسَنْتَ.
It is narrated from Abu Burdah bin Abu Musa (may Allah have mercy on him) that I went to my father, Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), while he was with (his wife) the daughter of Fadl bin Abbas (Umm Kulthum). I sneezed, but he did not respond to me, and she (Umm Kulthum) sneezed, and he responded to her. I told my mother (Umm Abdullah). When my respected father came to her, she spoke at length and said: My son sneezed, but you did not respond to him, and you responded to her (your wife Umm Kulthum). He said to my mother: Indeed, I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "When one of you sneezes and says «الحمد للہ», then respond to him, and if he does not say «الحمد للہ», then do not respond to him." My son sneezed and did not say «الحمد للہ», so I did not respond to him, and she (Umm Kulthum) sneezed and she said «الحمد للہ», so I responded to her. She said: You did very well.
