2746. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The sneeze is from Allāh and the yawn is from Ash-Shaitān. So when one of you yawns let him cover his mouth with his hand. For when he says Āh, Āh Ash-Shaitān laughs from inside his opening." [And indeed Allāh loves the sneeze and He dislikes the yawn, so when a man says Āh, Āh when yawning, indeed Ash-Shaitān laughs from inside his opening."] (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan [Ṣaḥīḥ].
٢٧٤٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، عَنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الْعُطَاسُ» مِنَ اللهِ، وَالتَّثَاؤُبُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِذَا تَثَاءَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَضَعْ يَدَهُ عَلَى فِيهِ، وَإِذَا قَالَ: آهْ آهْ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَضْحَكُ مِنْ جَوْفِهِ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ يُحِبُّ الْعُطَاسَ وَيَكْرَهُ التَّثَاؤُبَ، فَإِذَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ: آهْ آهْ إِذَا تَثَاءَبَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَضْحَكُ مِنْ جَوْفِهِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ.

Sneezing for the state of health and joy is a mercy and grace of Allāh, because it lightens the brain and it feels comfortable; if the mists of the nose are not released and the wetness remains stuck, the person will experience discomfort and sickness. So Allāh likes sneezing, that is why saying 'Al-Hamdulillah' is commanded for it, whereas yawning is a sign of slackness and boredom, therefore Allāh dislikes it.
