36 - Chapter: What the one who sneezes should say when he sneezes

2936 - Humayd ibn Mas'adah narrated to us, saying: Ziyad ibn al-Rabi' narrated to us, saying: Hadrami, the freed slave of the family of al-Jarud, narrated to us

from Nafi': that a man sneezed beside Ibn 'Umar and said: "Praise be to Allah, and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace." Ibn 'Umar said: "And I say: Praise be to Allah, and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah, but this is not how the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, taught us. He taught us to say: Praise be to Allah in every circumstance." (2)

(2) A sound hadith. Hadrami — who is Ibn 'Ajlan — the freed slave of the family of al-Jarud, three narrators narrated from him, and Ibn Hibban mentioned him in "al-Thiqat." The rest of its narrators are reliable.

It was also narrated by al-Hakim 4/265-266, and al-Mizzi in the biography of Hadrami in "Tahdhib al-Kamal" 6/553. In the printed "Mustadrak al-Hakim," Hadrami ibn 'Ajlan was corrupted to Hadrami ibn Lahiq.

It is supported by the hadith of Salim ibn 'Abdullah, Abu Ayyub, and 'Ali, which follow after this in this chapter.

In this chapter there is also a hadith from Abu Hurayrah, narrated by Abu Dawud (5033), and its chain of transmission is sound. =
