Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #936
Sneezing and Yawning
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلِ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ، وَلْيَقُلْ مَنْ يَرُدُّ: يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ، وَلْيَقُلْ هُوَ: يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِي وَلَكُمْ.
'Abdullah said, "When one of you sneezes, he should say, 'Praise
be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.' Let anyone responding to him say
'May Allah have mercy on you.' Then the person who sneezed should say'May
Allah forgive me and you.'"
