1195 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا ابْنُ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الْعُطَاسُ مِنَ اللَّهِ، وَالتَّثَاؤُبَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِذَا تَثَاوَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَضَعْ يَدَهُ عَلَي فِيهِ، وَإِذَا قَالَ: هَاهْ هَاهْ، فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ يَضْحَكُ فِي جَوْفِهِ "
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Sneezing is from Allah Almighty and yawning is from Satan. When a person yawns, he should place his hand over his mouth. When he says ‘ha, ha’, it is from Satan, who laughs in his belly.”
