في تشميت العاطس، من قال: لا يشمت حتى يحمد الله
Responding to one who sneezes, and those who said: He is not responded to until he praises Allah
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 27655 — Responding to one who sneezes
٢٧٦٥٥ - حدثنا (يعلى) (١) بن عبيد عن أبي (منين) (٢) عن أبي حازم عن أبي هريرة قال: كنا جلوسا عند النبي ﷺ فعطس رجل (من القوم) (٣) فحمد اللَّه فقال النبي: (يرحمك اللَّه)، ثم عطس آخر فسكت، فلم يقل له شيئًا فقال: يا رسول اللَّه عطس هذا فقلت له: رحمك اللَّه، وعطست فلم تقل لي شيئًا، فقال: "إن هذا حمد اللَّه وأنت سكت" (٤).
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man sneezed and said 'Alhamdulillah' (All praise is for Allah), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Yarhamuk Allah' (May Allah have mercy on you). Then another man sneezed, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said nothing to him. That man said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! This man sneezed and you (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for him by saying 'Yarhamuk Allah', and I sneezed and you (peace and blessings be upon him) offered no prayer for me!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This man said 'Alhamdulillah', and you remained silent."
