Jami at-Tirmidhi 2743 (Book 43, Hadith 10) #28380
Compassion and Mercy in Sickness

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed mercy and compassion to a man who was suffering from a cold.

Narrated Iyas bin Salamah: from his father: "A man sneezed in the presence of the Messenger of Allah while I was present, so the Messenger of Allah said: 'Yarhamukallah (May Allah have mercy upon you)'. Then he sneezed a second and third time. So the Messenger of Allah said: "This man is suffering from a cold'."
حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ عَطَسَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ عَطَسَ الثَّانِيَةَ وَالثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ هَذَا رَجُلٌ مَزْكُومٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
