Sunan Abi Dawud 5036 (Book 43, Hadith 264) #25327
Invoking Blessings on One Who Sneezes

SUMMARY: This hadith teaches us to be courteous and polite when someone sneezes.

Narrated Ubayd ibn Rifa'ah az-Zuraqi: The Prophet 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.
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلاَمِ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، حُمَيْدَةَ أَوْ عُبَيْدَةَ بِنْتِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ الزُّرَقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهَا، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ تُشَمِّتُ الْعَاطِسَ ثَلاَثًا فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تُشَمِّتَهُ فَشَمِّتْهُ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَكُفَّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of being courteous and polite when someone sneezes. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that we should invoke a blessing on one who sneezes three times, and if they continue to sneeze, then we may choose to invoke a blessing or not. This is an example of how Muslims should show respect for each other in all situations, even something as small as a sneeze. It also shows the importance of being mindful of our words and actions towards others, no matter how small they may seem.
