It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that two men were sitting in the blessed gathering of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), one of whom had more honour and standing than the other. One of them sneezed and praised Allah, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) responded to his sneeze. Then the other man sneezed but did not praise Allah, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not respond to him. At this the man of honour said (in surprise): "This man sneezed and you (peace and blessings be upon him) favoured him with a response, and I sneezed and you (peace and blessings be upon him) did not respond to me?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This man remembered Allah, so I remembered him; and you forgot Allah, so I too left you forgotten."
