Narrated Abu Hurairah: Respond three times to your brother when he sneezes, and if he sneezes more often, he has a cold in his head.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abu Hurairah through a different chain from the prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . A transmitter Saeed bin Saeed said: I know him that he traced this tradition back to the prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . Abu Dawud said: Abu Nuaim transmitted it from Musa bin Qais, from Muhammad bin Ajlan, from Saeed, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, from the prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم .

Narrated Ubayd ibn Rifaah az-Zuraqi: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Invoke a blessing on one who sneezes three times; (and if he sneezes more often), then if you wish to invoke a blessing on him, you may invoke, and if you wish (to stop), then stop.

Salamah bin al-Akwa said: when a man sneezed beside the prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم , he said to him: Allah have mercy on you, but when he sneezed again, he said: The man has a cold in the head.
