Abu Hurayrah (RA) shared that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Allah likes sneezing and dislikes yawning. When one of you sneezes and praises Allah, it is a duty on every Muslim to say to him: May Allah have mercy on you. As for yawning, it is from Satan.” You won’t find yawning mentioned in the Quran, but these details come from authentic hadith books like Sahih al-Bukhari.
