Hadith 2743

حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ : عَطَسَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ " ثُمَّ عَطَسَ الثَّانِيَةَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " هَذَا رَجُلٌ مَزْكُومٌ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Narrated Iyas bin Salamah:` from his father: "A man sneezed in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) while I was present, so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Yarhamukallah (May Allah have mercy upon you).' Then he sneezed a second and third time. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "This man is suffering from a cold.'"
وَقَدْ رَوَى شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ نَحْوَ رِوَايَةِ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ بِهَذَا وَرَوَى عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ، نَحْوَ رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ ، وَقَالَ لَهُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ : " أَنْتَ مَزْكُومٌ " ، حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ إِسْحَاق بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ .
And Shu’bah narrated this hadith from ‘Ikrimah bin ‘Ammar, just as Yahya bin Sa‘id narrated it. It was narrated to us by Ahmad bin Hakam al-Basri, who said: It was narrated to us by Muhammad bin Bashshar, who said: It was narrated to us by Shu’bah, and Shu’bah narrated it from ‘Ikrimah bin ‘Ammar in the same way. And ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Mahdi narrated it from ‘Ikrimah bin ‘Ammar, just as Ibn al-Mubarak narrated it. In this narration, it is mentioned that upon the third sneeze, the Prophet said: “You have caught a cold.” It was narrated to me by Ishaq bin Mansur, who said: It was narrated to me by ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Mahdi .
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ : " أَنْتَ مَزْكُومٌ " ، قَالَ : هَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ .
‘Muhammad bin Bashar narrated to me, he said: Yahya bin Sa‘id narrated to me, he said: ‘Ikrimah bin ‘Ammar narrated to me, and ‘Ikrimah from Iyas bin Salamah, Iyas from his father Salamah, and Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) a similar hadith, but in this narration it is mentioned that upon the man sneezing for the third time, the Prophet said: “You have caught a cold.” © Imam Tirmidhi says:
This narration is more authentic than the hadith of Ibn Mubarak.
