Sunan and manners of sneezing

Dear Islamic brothers! Let us consider some Sunan and manners of sneezing, referenced from Shaykh Ilyas al-Qadiri’s book, 101 Madani Pearls. Before that, we begin with two Aḥādīth.

1.The beloved Prophetصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  declared, “Sneezing is loved by Allah, whilst He dislikes yawning.”^[2]

2.The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم proclaimed, “When somebody sneezes and says اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, the angels say, رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ. If he says رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ, the angels say, ‘May Allah have mercy upon you.’”^[3]

3.When sneezing, one should lower the head, cover the mouth, and keep the sound low, as raising the voice while sneezing is foolishness.^[4]
