It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever commits a sin in this world and is punished for it (in the form of a prescribed penalty or the like), Allah is far too just to repeat the punishment upon His servant. And whoever commits a sin in this world and Allah conceals it for him, Allah is far too generous to call to account something He has already pardoned." Here ends the Book of Repentance and Turning to Allah; now the Book of Manners begins.

Ayyub bin Musa bin Amr bin Sa'id bin al-As narrates from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No father has given his child a gift better than good manners and conduct." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Allah, for one of you to give his child a good upbringing and teach him manners is better for him than giving half a sa' (of grain) in charity every day."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, created Adam (peace be upon him) and breathed the soul into him, he sneezed and said: 'Alhamdu lillah' (All praise is for Allah). So he praised Allah by Allah's leave, and then his Lord said to him: 'O Adam, may your Lord have mercy on you.'" This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the soul was breathed into Adam (peace be upon him) and it reached his nostrils, he sneezed and said: 'Alhamdu lillahi rabbil-alamin' (All praise is for Allah, the Lord of the worlds). Then Allah Almighty said: "May Allah have mercy on you." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration on the condition of Imam Muslim; even though it is mawquf (stopping at the Companion), its chain is entirely sahih.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty loves sneezing and dislikes yawning. So when one of you sneezes and says 'Alhamdu lillah' (All praise is for Allah), it is a right upon everyone who hears him that he respond to him (tashmit) and say 'Yarhamuk Allah' (May Allah have mercy on you). Yawning is from Satan, so when one of you yawns, let him hold it back as much as he can, for when one of you makes the sound 'ha ha' while yawning, Satan laughs at him." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you sneezes, let him place his two palms over his face and lower his voice." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A Muslim has four rights over a Muslim: that he accept when he invites him, visit him when he is ill, respond to him when he sneezes (and praises Allah), and accompany his funeral when he dies." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty loves sneezing, so when one of you sneezes, it is a right upon everyone who hears him that he say 'Yarhamuk Allah' (May Allah have mercy on you)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it. And Imam Bukhari did not leave out any of these hadiths from his chapter headings (tarajim).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sneezing is from Allah and yawning is from Satan, and it is a right upon the one who hears (the sneeze) that he say 'Yarhamukumullah' (May Allah have mercy on you)."
