Hadith about the Dua
Arabic Text
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ . وَلْيَقُلْ لَهُ أَخُوهُ أَوْ صَاحِبُهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ . فَإِذَا قَالَ لَهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ فَلْيَقُلْ يَهْدِيكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ " .
Abu Hurairah narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "When one of you sneezes, let him say: 'Alhamdulillah (All praise is due to Allah),' and let his brother or companion say to him: 'Yarhamuk Allah (May Allah have mercy on you).' If he says to him: 'Yarhamuk Allah,' then let him say: 'Yahdikum Allahu wa yuslihu balakum (May Allah guide you and rectify your condition).’"
