كم يشمت؟How many times 'yarhamuk Allah' should be said
Hadith 27663
٢٧٦٦٣ - حدثنا يزيد بن هارون قال: (حدثنا) (١) محمد بن إسحاق عن محمد بن جعفر بن الزبير أن رجلا عطس عند النبي ﷺ فشمته ثم عطس فشمته ثم عطس (فشمته ثم عطس) (٢) الرابعة فقال له النبي ﷺ: "إنك مضنوك (فامتخط) (٣) " (٤).
Hazrat Muhammad bin Ja'far bin Zubair narrates that a man sneezed in the presence of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for him by saying "Yarhamuk Allah" (may Allah have mercy on you). Then he sneezed again, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for him by saying "Yarhamuk Allah." He sneezed yet again, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for him by saying "Yarhamuk Allah." Then, when he sneezed a fourth time, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "You are suffering from a cold, go and clean your nose."
