Chapter 43 · General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)كَيْفَ تَشْمِيتُ الْعَاطِسِ
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ سَالِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، فَعَطَسَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ، فَقَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَقَالَ سَالِمٌ: وَعَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أُمِّكَ، ثُمَّ قال بَعْدُ: لَعَلَّكَ وَجَدْتَ مِمَّا قُلْتُ لَكَ، قال: لَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تَذْكُرْ أُمِّي بِخَيْرٍ وَلَا بِشَرٍّ، قال: إِنَّمَا قُلْتُ لَكَ كَمَا قال رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّا بَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ عَطَسَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ، فَقَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ، فقال رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: وَعَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أُمِّكَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ، قال: فَذَكَرَ بَعْضَ الْمَحَامِدِ، وَلْيَقُلْ لَهُ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ: يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ، وَلْيَرُدَّ يَعْنِي عَلَيْهِمْ: يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لَنَا وَلَكُمْ .

How to respond to one who sneezes
We were with Salim bin Ubayd when a man from among the people sneezed and said: Peace be upon you. Salim said: And upon you and your mother. Later he said: Perhaps you found something (annoying) in what I said to you. He said: I wished you would not mention my mother with good or evil. He said: I have just said to you what the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said. We were in the presence of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم when a man from among the people sneezed, saying: Peace be upon you! The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: And upon you and your mother. He then said: When one of you sneezes, he should praise Allah. He further mentioned some attributes (of Allah), saying: The one who is with him should say to him: Allah have mercy on you, and he should reply to them: Allah forgive us and you.
