BEHAVIOR WHEN SNEEZING AND THE DISLIKE OF YAWNING

891

“Allah likes a sneeze but dislikes a yawn. When you sneeze and say, ‘Praise be to Allah (Al Hamdulillah)’ it becomes obligatory upon every Muslim who hears you to respond with, ‘May Allah have mercy upon you (Yarhamuk Allah).’”

Yawning is from satan, when you feel like yawning you should suppress it as far as you are able, because satan laughs when you yawn.”

Bukhari with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
