حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ قَالَ کُنَّا مَعَ سَالِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ فَعَطَسَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْکُمْ فَقَالَ سَالِمٌ وَعَلَيْکَ وَعَلَی أُمِّکَ ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدُ لَعَلَّکَ وَجَدْتَ مِمَّا قُلْتُ لَکَ قَالَ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّکَ لَمْ تَذْکُرْ أُمِّي بِخَيْرٍ وَلَا بِشَرٍّ قَالَ إِنَّمَا قُلْتُ لَکَ کَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّا بَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ عَطَسَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْکُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْکَ وَعَلَی أُمِّکَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُکُمْ فَلْيَحْمَدْ اللَّهَ قَالَ فَذَکَرَ بَعْضَ الْمَحَامِدِ وَلْيَقُلْ لَهُ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ يَرْحَمُکَ اللَّهُ وَلْيَرُدَّ يَعْنِي عَلَيْهِمْ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لَنَا وَلَکُمْ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 5031
Narrated Salim ibn Ubayd: Hilal ibn Yasar said: We were with Salim ibn Ubayd when a man from among the people sneezed and said: Peace be upon you. Salim said: And upon you and your mother. Later he said: Perhaps you found something (annoying) in what I said to you. He said: I wished you would not mention my mother with good or evil. He said: I have just said to you what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said. We were in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a man from among the people sneezed, saying: Peace be upon you! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: And upon you and your mother. He then said: When one of you sneezes, he should praise Allah. He further mentioned some attributes (of Allah), saying: The one who is with him should say to him: Allah have mercy on you, and he should reply to them: Allah forgive us and you.
