First, let us mention two hadith of the final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. He said, “Allah loves sneezes and dislikes yawns.”^[1] He also said, “When someone sneezes and says ‘اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـهِ’, the angels say ‘رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ’. If he says      ‘رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ’, the angels say, ‘May Allah have mercy upon you.’”^[2]

*   When sneezing, lower your head, cover your mouth and sneeze quietly. Deliberately raising the sound of a sneeze is foolish.^[3]

*   Say اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـهِ after sneezing. It is better to say اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْن or      اَلْحَمْدُلِلّٰہِ عَلٰی کلِّ حَال.
