Upon Sneezing

Hadith

روى البخاري (6224) عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : ( إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلْ : الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ، وَلْيَقُلْ لَهُ أَخُوهُ أَوْصَاحِبُهُ : يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ ، فَإِذَا قَالَ لَهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ فَلْيَقُلْ : يَهْدِيكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ ) .

Al-Bukhaari (6224) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“When one of you sneezes, let him say,

‘Al-hamdu-Lillaah (Praise be to Allaah),’

and let his brother or companion say to him.

‘Yarhamuk Allaah (May Allaah have mercy on you).’

If he says,

‘Yarhamuk-Allaah,’

then let (the sneezer) say,

‘Yahdeekum Allaah wa yuslihu baalakum (May Allaah guide you and rectify your condition).’”
