Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
In this hadith, a ruling regarding sneezing is mentioned: at the time of sneezing, one should cover one’s mouth with a cloth, and the sound of the sneeze should be kept low, not such that it frightens people.
From this hadith, it is understood how complete the religion of Islam is, and all praise is due to Allah. It is unfortunate that Muslims do not even try to understand the religion.

Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
From this hadith, it is understood that when sneezing, one should be considerate of others,
so that the particles expelled from the nose do not fall upon others.
Therefore, one should cover the mouth with the hand or a piece of cloth.
It can be inferred that Islam emphasizes not only etiquette and refinement but also cleanliness.

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Some people, upon sneezing, deliberately forcefully produce a loud sound.
This is contrary to proper etiquette and is not from the Sunnah.
An involuntary situation, insha Allah, is excused.
