Sunan Abi Dawud 5038 (Book 43, Hadith 266) #25329
The Prophet's Response to Jewish Sneezes

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ would not give the Jews the response they were hoping for when they sneezed in his presence.

Narrated AbuBurdah: The Jews used to try to sneezes in the presence of the Prophet hoping that he would say to them: "Allah have mercy on you!" but he would say: May Allah guide you and grant you well-being!
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ الدَّيْلَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كَانَتِ الْيَهُودُ تَعَاطَسُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ رَجَاءَ أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهَا يَرْحَمُكُمُ اللَّهُ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ يَهْدِيكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad responded to Jewish people who sneezed in his presence. Instead of saying "Allah have mercy on you!" as they were hoping, he said "May Allah guide you and grant you well-being!" This shows that even though the Jews were not believers, he still showed them kindness and respect. He wanted them to be guided by Allah and have a good life, rather than just wishing them mercy from Allah. This teaches us that we should always show kindness and respect towards others regardless of their beliefs or backgrounds. We should also strive to help others find guidance from Allah so that they can lead a good life.
