6223. Narrated Abū Hurairah: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allāh likes sneezing and dislikes yawning, so if someone sneezes and then praises Allāh, then it is obligatory on every Muslim who heard him, to say: May (1) (Ch. 124) Yar-hamukallāh: 'May Allāh bestow His Mercy on you'. (2) (Ch. 124) 'Praise be to Allāh'. Allāh be Merciful to you (Yar-ḥamukallāh). But as regards yawning, it is from Satan, so one must try his best to stop it as much as possible; if one says 'Ha' when yawning, Satan will laugh at him."

6223 - حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ المَقْبُرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ العُطَاسَ، وَيَكْرَهُ التَّثَاؤُبَ، فَإِذَا عَطَسَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ، فَحَقٌّ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ سَمِعَهُ أَنْ يُشَمِّتَهُ، وَأَمَّا التَّثَاؤُبُ: فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَلْيَرُدَّهُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ، فَإِذَا قَالَ: هَا، ضَحِكَ مِنْهُ الشَّيْطَانُ "
