It was asked of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Two men sneezed in your presence.

When she came to him, she said: "Indeed, my son sneezed in your presence, but you did not say 'Yarhamukallah' to him, and this girl sneezed and you said 'Yarhamukallah' to her." He replied: "Your son sneezed but did not say 'Alhamdulillah', so I did not say 'Yarhamukallah' to him, and this girl sneezed and she said 'Alhamdulillah', so I responded to her with 'Yarhamukallah'. And I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: When any of you sneezes and says 'Alhamdulillah', then you should pray for him by saying 'Yarhamukallah', and if he does not say 'Alhamdulillah', then you should not say 'Yarhamukallah' to him."
