Sahih al-Bukhari 6226 (Book 78, Hadith 250) #5979
Praising Allah for Sneezing and Avoiding Yawning

SUMMARY: Allah loves when people sneeze and praises Him, but dislikes yawning as it is from Satan.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah loves sneezing but dislikes yawning; so if anyone of you sneezes and then praises Allah, every Muslim who hears him (praising Allah) has to say Tashmit to him. But as regards yawning, it is from Satan, so if one of you yawns, he should try his best to stop it, for when anyone of you yawns, Satan laughs at him".
حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْعُطَاسَ وَيَكْرَهُ التَّثَاؤُبَ، فَإِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ كَانَ حَقًّا عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ سَمِعَهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ‏.‏ وَأَمَّا التَّثَاؤُبُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِذَا تَثَاوَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَرُدَّهُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ، فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا تَثَاءَبَ ضَحِكَ مِنْهُ الشَّيْطَانُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of praising Allah when one sneezes. It is a sign of appreciation to God for His blessings, and it should be done with sincerity. On the other hand, yawning is discouraged as it comes from Satan. It is important to try our best to avoid yawning in order to stay away from evil influences. This hadith also teaches us that we should be mindful of our actions and words in front of others, as they can have an effect on them too; if someone hears another person praising God after sneezing, they should also say “tashmit” in response.
