2740. Sālim bin 'Ubaid narrated that he was with some people on a journey, and a man among the people sneezed and he said: "As-Salāmu 'Alaikum (peace be upon you)." So he (Sālim) said: "Alaika Wa 'Alā Ummik. (Upon you and upon your mother)." It seemed as if that bothered the man, so he said: "Indeed I have not said except what the Prophet ﷺ said; a man sneezed in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'As-Salāmu 'Alaikum (peace be upon you)' so the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Alaika Wa 'Alā Ummik. (Upon you and upon your mother). When one of you sneezes then let him say: "Al-Ḥamdulillāhi Rabbil-Ālamīn (All praise is due to the Lord of all that exists)" and let the one responding to him say: Yarhamukallāh (May Allāh have mercy upon you)" and let him reply: Yaghfirullāh Lī Walakum (May Allāh forgive me and you both)." (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] They differed in reporting this Hadīth from Manṣūr, and they have entered a man between Hilāl bin Yasāf and Sālim.

Commentary
Hāfīz Ibn Al-Qayyim said, the Prophet indicated towards two things by saying 'and upon your mother': the person uttered 'Assalaamu Alaikum' for an
inappropriate occasion, as the saying of the Prophet 'upon your mother' does not agree with the circumstance; or he indicated towards the person that you are unfamiliar, you were not taught and trained; and also according to the saying of some people, 'did your mother teach you this!'
