حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ‏:‏ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَعَطَسَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ‏:‏ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ، ثُمَّ عَطَسَ أُخْرَى، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ هَذَا مَزْكُومٌ‏.‏

Abu al-Walid related to us, saying: ‘Ikrima ibn ‘Ammar related to us, saying: Iyas ibn Salama related to me, saying: My father related to me, saying: I was with the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, when a man sneezed. He said: “May Allah have mercy on you.” Then the man sneezed again, and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “This man has a cold.”
