3713. It was narrated that Anas bin Mālik said: "Two men sneezed in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ and he replied (said: 'Yarhamuk-Allāh; may Allāh have mercy on you') to one and not to the other. It was said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, two men sneezed in your presence and you replied to one and not to the other?' He said: "'This one praised Allāh (said Al-Hamdu Lillāh after sneezing) but that one did not.'" (Sahih)
3713 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: عَطَسَ رَجُلَانِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَشَمَّتَ أَحَدَهُمَا - أَوْ سَمَّتَ - وَلَمْ يُشَمِّتِ الْآخَرَ، فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، عَطَسَ عِنْدَكَ رَجُلَانِ فَشَمَّتَّ أَحَدَهُمَا وَلَمْ تُشَمِّتِ الْآخَرَ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ هَذَا حَمِدَ اللَّهَ، وَإِنَّ هَذَا لَمْ يَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ»

a. Praising Allāh means the one who sneezes should say Al-Hamdu Lillāh. b. Invoking blessing on him means that the person who hears him should respond to him by saying Yarhamuk-Allāh (may Allāh be merciful to you.) c. Invoking blessings, by saying Yarhamuk-Allah to the one who says Al-Hamdu Lillāh after sneezing, is the right of a Muslim on his Muslim brother. (See Sahih Al-Bukhārī: 6223)
