Etiquette of
Sneezing and Yawning |
|
| When one sneezes, one should say ALHAMDULILLAH.
(Bukhari) |
| In reply to this, one who hears (the person who
has sneezed say Alhamdulillah) should say YARHAMU KALLAH. (Bukhari) |
| The person who has sneezed must reply by saying:
YAHDEE KUMULLAHU WAYUSLIHU BAALAKUM. (Bukhari) |
| Whenever our beloved Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wasallam sneezed, he should cover his face with his hands or with a piece of cloth, so
that the sound of the sneeze could not be heard too loudly. (Tirmidhi) |
| Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said:
"When one yawns, cover the mouth with the hand, as the full opening of the mouth
allows the Shaytaan to enter the mouth. (Muslim) |
| It is narrated in a Hadith, that when one yawns,
one should not make the sound 'Haa', as this causes the Shaytaan to laugh. (Muslim) |
