2743. Iyās bin Salamah narrated from his father: "A man sneezed in the presence of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ while I was present, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:
'Yarhamukallāh (May Allāh have mercy upon you).' Then he sneezed a second and third time. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'This man is suffering from a cold.'"
(Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
(Another chain) from Iyās bin Salamah from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ with similar narration, except that he said to him the third time: "You are suffering from a cold."
[He said:] And this is more correct than the narration of Ibn Al-Mubārak. Shu'bah reported this Ḥadīth from 'Ikrimah bin 'Ammār and it is similar to the narration of Yaḥyā bin Sa'eed. (A chain to support that).
[And 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Mahdī reported it from 'Ikrimah bin 'Ammār and it is similar to the narration of Ibn Al-Mubārak, but he said to him the third time: "You are suffering from a cold." ] (A chain to support that).

Commentary
Natural, reasonable sneezing for the state of health is a mercy and grace of Allāh, so the sneezing person should praise Allāh saying 'Al-Ḥamdulillāh' and the person listening to him should make a supplication of good and blessing for him saying 'Yarhamukallāh' (may Allāh be merciful with you).
