Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sneezed, he would place his garment or his hand on his forehead and would lower his voice.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that two men sneezed in the presence of the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. One of them was more honorable than the other. The honorable one sneezed but did not say "Alhamdulillah," so the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not respond to his sneeze. The other sneezed and said "Alhamdulillah," so the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, responded to him. The honorable one said: "I also sneezed near you, but you did not respond to me, and he sneezed and you responded to him?" The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "He sneezed and mentioned Allah Almighty, so I also mentioned him. And you forgot Allah Almighty, so I also forgot you."

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any one of you sneezes, he should place his hand over his mouth.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty likes sneezing and dislikes yawning. Whoever sneezes and says "Alhamdulillah," it is the right of the listener to say "Yarhamukallah."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Burdah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I went to my father, Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him), he was in the house of Umm Kulthum, the daughter of Umm Fadl (she was his wife). I sneezed, but my father did not respond to me. However, when Umm Kulthum sneezed, he responded to her. When I returned to my mother, I mentioned this to her. When my father came to my mother, she said: My son sneezed and you did not respond, but when Umm Kulthum sneezed, you responded to her. He said: Yes, your son sneezed and did not say“Alhamdulillah,”so I did not respond, and this woman sneezed and said“Alhamdulillah,”so I responded to her. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any of you sneezes and says“Alhamdulillah,”then respond to him, and if he does not say“Alhamdulillah,”then do not respond. She said: Then you did well, you did very well.
