وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ عَطَسَ رَجُلَانِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَشْرَفُ مِنَ الْآخَرِ فَعَطَسَ الشَّرِيفُ فَلَمْ يَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ فَلَمْ يُشَمِّتْهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَطَسَ الْآخَرُ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ فَشَمَّتَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَقَالَ الشَّرِيفُ عَطَسْتُ عِنْدَكَ فَلَمْ تُشَمِّتْنِي وَعَطَسَ هَذَا عِنْدَكَ فَشَمَّتَّهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ فَذَكَرْتُهُ وَإِنَّكَ نَسِيتَ اللَّهَ فَنَسِيتُكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that two men sneezed in the presence of the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. One of them was more honorable than the other. The honorable one sneezed but did not say "Alhamdulillah," so the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not respond to his sneeze. The other sneezed and said "Alhamdulillah," so the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, responded to him. The honorable one said: "I also sneezed near you, but you did not respond to me, and he sneezed and you responded to him?" The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "He sneezed and mentioned Allah Almighty, so I also mentioned him. And you forgot Allah Almighty, so I also forgot you."
