(كَثْرَةُ الْعُطَاسِ عَلَامَةُ الزُّكَامِ)
(Frequent sneezing is a sign of a cold)
Hadith 4736
وَعَن سلمةَ بن الْأَكْوَع أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَطَسَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ» ثُمَّ عَطَسَ أُخْرَى فَقَالَ: «الرَّجُلُ مَزْكُومٌ» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم وَفِي رِوَايَة التِّرْمِذِيّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ: «إِنَّهُ مَزْكُومٌ»
It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when a man sneezed in his presence, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to him: “May Allah have mercy on you.” Then the man sneezed a second time, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The man has a cold.” And in the narration of Tirmidhi, when he sneezed a third time, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “He has a cold.” Narrated by Muslim and Tirmidhi.
