Sahih Muslim 2995a (Book 55, Hadith 74) #14498
Covering Your Mouth When Yawning

SUMMARY: When yawning, one should cover their mouth with their hand to prevent the devil from entering.

The son of Abu Said al-Khudri reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Messenger said: When one of you yawns, he should keep his mouth shut with the help of his hand, for it is the devil that enters therein.
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو غَسَّانَ الْمِسْمَعِيُّ، مَالِكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنًا، لأَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ يُحَدِّثُ أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا تَثَاوَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُمْسِكْ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فِيهِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَدْخُلُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of covering your mouth when you yawn. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that when we yawn, we should cover our mouths with our hands to prevent the devil from entering in. This teaches us that even something as small as a yawn can be an opportunity for evil and so it is important to take precautions against it by covering our mouths with our hands. It also teaches us that we must always be aware of the presence of evil and take steps to protect ourselves from it in all aspects of life, even if they seem small or insignificant.
