2742. Anas bin Mālik narrated that two men sneezed in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ; he responded to one of them and did not respond to the other. The one who was not responded to said: "O Messenger of Allāh! You responded to this person and did not respond to me?" So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "He praised Allāh while you did not praise Him." (Sahīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīh [And it has been reported from Abū Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ].

Arabic text

٢٧٤٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ ‌سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، «أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ عَطَسَا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَشَمَّتَ» أَحَدَهُمَا وَلَمْ يُشَمِّتِ الْآخَرَ، فَقَالَ الَّذِي لَمْ يُشَمِّتْهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، شَمَّتَّ هَذَا، وَلَمْ تُشَمِّتْنِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّهُ حَمِدَ اللهَ وَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تَحْمَدِ اللهَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

Commentary

He who thanks and praises Allāh after sneezing acting upon the saying of the Prophet ﷺ should be given a supplication of good according to the Sunnah. He does not deserve the supplication, if he does not say 'Al-Hamdulillāh' (all praise and thanks are due to Allāh); if he is ignorant he should be taught.
