5036. It was narrated from Yahyā bin Ishāq bin 'Abdullāh bin Abī Ṭalḥah, from his mother Ḥumaidah – or 'Ubaidah – bint 'Ubaid bin Rifā'ah Al-Zuraqī, from her father, that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Say 'Yarhamuk-Allāh (May Allāh have mercy on you)' to one who sneezes, three times, then if you wish to say it (again), do so, or if you wish, refrain."

Arabic text

5036 - حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، حُمَيْدَةَ أَوْ عُبَيْدَةَ بِنْتِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ الزُّرَقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهَا، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «تُشَمِّتُ الْعَاطِسَ ثَلَاثًا، فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تُشَمِّتَهُ فَشَمِّتْهُ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَكُفَّ»
