حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ، عَطَسَا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَشَمَّتَ أَحَدَهُمَا وَلَمْ يُشَمِّتِ الآخَرَ فَقَالَ الَّذِي لَمْ يُشَمِّتْهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ شَمَّتَّ هَذَا وَلَمْ تُشَمِّتْنِي . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّهُ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .

Anas ibn Malik reported: Two men sneezed in the Prophet’s presence. He invoked mercy for one but not the other. The one he had not responded to said, ‘Messenger of Allah, you invoked mercy for him but not for me.’ The Messenger of Allah replied, ‘He praised Allah, whereas you did not praise Him.’
Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan sahih hadith. It has also been narrated from Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The response to the sneezer is rendered as ‘invoked mercy,’ reflecting tashmit; a person who sneezes is praised for saying al-hamdu lillah.
