6221. Narrated Anas bin Mālik: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Two men sneezed before the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said to one of them, "May Allāh bestow His Mercy on you," but he did not say that to the other. On being asked (why), the Prophet ﷺ said, "That one praised Allāh (by saying "Al-Hamdu-lillāh" (at the time of sneezing), while the other did not praise Allāh."
6221 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: عَطَسَ رَجُلاَنِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَشَمَّتَ أَحَدَهُمَا وَلَمْ يُشَمِّتِ الآخَرَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: «هَذَا حَمِدَ اللَّهَ، وَهَذَا لَمْ يَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ»
