It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Allah likes sneezing and dislikes yawning. When someone sneezes and says «الحمد للہ» , it is the right of every Muslim who hears him to respond to his sneeze. As for yawning, it is purely from Satan, so one should try to stop it as much as possible. When a person yawns and says 'Ha', Satan laughs at him."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he said: When one of you sneezes, he should say «الحمد للہ» , then the angel says: Lord of the worlds, and when the servant says Lord of the worlds, the angel says «يرحمك الله» .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When someone sneezes, he should say «الحمد للہ» . When he says this, his brother or companion should say «يرحمك الله» . When he says «يرحمك الله» , then he should say: «يهديك الله ويصلح بالك» , may Allah guide you and rectify your affairs."

Abu Abdullah Imam Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) says: In this chapter, the narration of Abu Salih Saman is the most authentic.

It is narrated from Ziyad bin An'am Al-Ifriqi (may Allah have mercy on him) that during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), he participated in a naval expedition, and our boat met with the boat of Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him). When it was time for our meal, we invited him to eat with us, so he came and said: "You have invited me while I am fasting, and I have no choice but to accept your invitation, because I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'A Muslim has six rights over another Muslim. If he neglects any of them, he has neglected a duty that was due to his brother. When he meets him, he should greet him with salam; when he invites him, he should accept his invitation; when he sneezes, he should respond to his sneeze; when he is ill, he should visit him; when he dies, he should attend his funeral; and when he seeks advice, he should give him sincere counsel.'"

The narrator says that there was a very humorous person with us. He said to one of the people eating with us: «جزاك الله خيرًا وبرًا» , so when he joked excessively, that person became angry. This humorous person said to Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him): "You see, when I say «جزاك الله خيرًا وبرًا» to this person, he gets angry and speaks harshly." Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "We say that if goodness does not reform someone, then evil reforms him, so change the phrase." So when that man came to him, he said: «جزاك الله شرًا وعرًا» (May Allah reward you with evil and hardship), so he laughed and became pleased and said: "You will never stop joking." That man said: "May Allah reward Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) with goodness."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "A Muslim has four rights over another Muslim: when he falls ill, visit him; when he dies, attend his funeral; when he invites you, accept his invitation; and when he sneezes, respond to him."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded us to do seven things and forbade us from seven things. He commanded us to visit the sick, to attend funerals, to respond to one who sneezes, to fulfill the oath of one who swears, to help the oppressed, to greet everyone with salam, and to accept the invitation of one who invites. And he forbade us from (using) gold rings, silver vessels, red silk cushions, Qass (a type of silk cloth from a region), Istabraq (thick silk), fine silk, and pure silk.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“A Muslim has six rights over another Muslim.”It was asked: O Messenger of Allah! What are they? He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“When you meet him, greet him with salam; when he invites you, accept his invitation; when he seeks your advice, give him sincere advice; when he sneezes and says «الحمد للہ» , respond to his sneeze; when he falls ill, visit him; and when he dies, attend his funeral.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: Whoever hears a sneeze and says: "In every condition, as it may be, all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds," then he will never suffer from toothache or earache.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When one of you sneezes, he should say «الحمد للہ» , and when he says «الحمد للہ» , his brother or companion should say «يرحمك الله» , and the one who sneezed should say: «يهديكم الله ويصلح بالكم» (May Allah guide you and set your condition right)."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Allah likes sneezing and dislikes yawning. When one of you sneezes and praises Allah, it is the right of every Muslim who hears him to say to him «يرحمك الله» . As for yawning, it is from the devil, so when one of you feels like yawning, he should try his best to suppress it. When one of you yawns, the devil laughs at him.”
