English translation

2738. Ḥaḍramī, the freed slave of the family of Al-Jārūd narrated from Nāfi': "A man sneezed beside Ibn 'Umar and said: 'Al-Ḥamdulillāh Was-Salāmu 'Alā Rasūlillāh. (All praise is due to Allāh, and peace upon the Messenger of Allāh)'. So Ibn 'Umar said: 'I too say Al-Ḥamdulillāh Was-Salāmu 'Alā Rasūlillāh, but this is not what the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ taught us. He taught us to say: "Al-Ḥadmulillāh 'Alā Kulli Ḥāl. (All praise is due to Allāh in every circumstance)" (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it except as a narration of Ziyād bin Ar-Rabī'.

٢٧٣٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌زِيَادُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌حَضْرَمِيٌّ مَوْلَى آلِ الْجَارُودِ ، عَنْ ‌نَافِعٍ، «أَنَّ رَجُلًا عَطَسَ إِلَى جَنْبِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ،» فَقَالَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ. قَالَ ‌ابْنُ عُمَرَ : وَأَنَا أَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ، وَلَيْسَ هَكَذَا عَلَّمَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، عَلَّمَنَا أَنْ نَقُولَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ زِيَادِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ.

Commentary

It is proven from this Hadīth that the Companions ﷺ would consider this supplication adequate for an occasion with the same words as taught by the Prophet, they would never allow an addition into the supplication even though it may have been something good and admirable.
