حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْعُطَاسَ، وَيَكْرَهُ التَّثَاؤُبَ، فَإِذَا عَطَسَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ فَحَقٌّ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ سَمِعَهُ أَنْ يُشَمِّتَهُ، وَأَمَّا التَّثَاؤُبُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَلْيَرُدَّهُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ، فَإِذَا قَالَ: هَاهْ، ضَحِكَ مِنْهُ الشَّيْطَانُ.

Adam related to us, saying: Ibn Abi Dhi’b related to us, saying: Sa‘id al-Maqburi related to us, from his father, from Abu Hurayra, from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who said: “Allah loves sneezing and dislikes yawning. When someone sneezes and praises Allah, every Muslim who hears him is bound to invoke mercy for him. As for yawning, it is from Satan, so let him suppress it as much as he can. When he says ‘Ah!’ Satan laughs at him.”
