Riyad as-Salihin 879 (Book 5, Hadith 36) #37368
Etiquette of Sneezing in Islam

SUMMARY: When someone sneezes, they should say "Al-hamdu lillah" and the other person should respond with "Yarhamuk-Allah". The response should be followed by a reply of "Yahdikum-ullah wa yuslihu balakum".

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet said, "When one of you sneezes he should say: 'Al-hamdu lillah (praise be to Allah),' and his brother or his companion should say to him: 'Yarhamuk-Allah (may Allah have mercy on you)'. When he says this he should reply: 'Yahdikum-ullah wa yuslihu balakum (may Allah guide you and render sound your state of affairs)"'. Al- Bukhari.
وعنه عن النبي الله قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏إذا عطس أحدكم فليقل‏:‏ الحمد لله؛ وليقل له أخوه أو أصحابه‏:‏ يرحمك الله، فإذا قال له‏:‏ يرحمك الله، فليقل‏:‏ يهديكم الله ويصلح بالكم‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

The other person must then respond with “Yarhamuk-Allah” which means “may God have mercy on you”. The person who has just sneezed must then reply with “Yahdikum-ullah wa yuslihu balakum” which means “may God guide you and render sound your state of affairs”.
