Hadith 2992
حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِزُهَيْرٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي مُوسَى وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِ بِنْتِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، فَعَطَسْتُ فَلَمْ يُشَمِّتْنِي ، وَعَطَسَتْ فَشَمَّتَهَا ، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى أُمِّي ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا فَلَمَّا جَاءَهَا ، قَالَتْ : عَطَسَ عِنْدَكَ ابْنِي فَلَمْ تُشَمِّتْهُ ، وَعَطَسَتْ فَشَمَّتَّهَا ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ ابْنَكِ عَطَسَ فَلَمْ يَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ فَلَمْ أُشَمِّتْهُ ، وَعَطَسَتْ فَحَمِدَتِ اللَّهَ ، فَشَمَّتُّهَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ، فَشَمِّتُوهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ فَلَا تُشَمِّتُوهُ " .
Abu Burda reported: I visited Abu Musa, as he was in the house of the daughter of Fadl bin 'Abbas. I sneezed but he did not respond to it (by saying): Allah may have mercy upon you. Then she sneezed and he (Fadl bin 'Abbas) said: May Allah have mercy upon you. I came back to my mother and informed her about it, and when he came to her she said: My son sneezed in your presence and you did not say: "Allah may have mercy upon you, and she sneezed and you said for her: "May Allah have mercy upon you." Thereupon he said: Your son sneezed but he did not praise Allah and I did not beg mercy of Allah for him and she sneezed and she praised Allah and so I said: May Allah have mercy upon you, as I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: When any one of you sneezes he should praise Allah and the other should say: May Allah have mercy upon you, and if he does not praise Allah, no mercy should be begged for him.
Hadith 3001
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّاءَ ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، قَالَ : سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا يُثْنِي عَلَى رَجُلٍ وَيُطْرِيهِ فِي الْمِدْحَةِ ، فَقَالَ : " لَقَدْ أَهْلَكْتُمْ أَوْ قَطَعْتُمْ ظَهْرَ الرَّجُلِ " .
Abu Musa reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw a person lauding another person or praising him too much. Thereupon he said: You killed him, or you sliced the back of a person.
