English translation

370. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Yawning is from the Shaitān, so when one of you yawns then let him suppress (it) as much as possible." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī, and the grandfather of 'Adī bin Thābit. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. The people of knowledge dislike yawning during Ṣalāt. Ibrāhīm said: "I repel the yawn by clearing my throat."

Arabic text

٣٧٠ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنِ ‌الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «التَّثَاؤُبُ» فِي الصَّلَاةِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِذَا تَثَاءَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَكْظِمْ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ وَجَدِّ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ. حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَقَدْ كَرِهَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ التَّثَاؤُبَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؛ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: إِنِّي لَأَرُدُّ التَّثَاؤُبَ بِالتَّنَحْنُحِ.

Commentary

Yawning is a sign of laziness, idleness and of heedlessness, which is normally a result of over eating, due to which a person loses interest in work and he performs the work unhappily; and the Satan likes this condition. Therefore one should try one's best to avoid it and to stop it, either by closing the mouth or by putting a hand over the mouth.
