Abu Burda reported: I visited Abu Musa, as he was in the house of the daughter of Fadl b. 'Abbas. I sneezed but he did not respond to it (by saying): Allaah may have mercy upon you. Then she sneezed and he (Fadl b. 'Abbas) said: May Allaah have mercy upon you. I came back to my mother and informed her about it, and when he came to her she said: My son sneezed in your presence and you did not say:" Allaah may have mercy upon you, and she sneezed and you said for her:" May Allaah have mercy upon you." Thereupon he said: Your son sneezed but he did not praise Allaah and I did not beg mercy of Allaah for him and she sneezed and she praised Allaah and so I said: May Allaah have mercy upon you, as I heard Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: When any one of you sneezes he should praise Allaah and the other should say: May Allaah have mercy upon you, and if he does not praise Allaah, no mercy should be begged for him. |
