6224. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "If anyone of you sneezes, he should say 'Al-Ḥamdu-lillāh' (praise be to Allāh), and his (Muslim) brother or companion should say to him 'Yar-ḥamukallāh' (may Allāh bestow His Mercy on you). When the latter says 'Yar-ḥamukallāh', the former should say 'Yah-dikumullāh wa Yuṣliḥ bālakum' (may Allāh give you guidance and improve your condition)."
6224 - حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ العَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلْ: الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلْيَقُلْ لَهُ أَخُوهُ أَوْ صَاحِبُهُ: يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ، فَإِذَا قَالَ لَهُ: يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ، فَلْيَقُلْ: يَهْدِيكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ "
