Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ حَسِبْتُهُ قَالَ عَطَسَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلَانِ فَشَمَّتَ أَحَدَهُمَا أَوْ قَالَ سَمَّتَ وَتَرَكَ الْآخَرَ فَقِيلَ رَجُلَانِ عَطَسَ أَحَدُهُمَا فَشَمَّتَّهُ وَلَمْ تُشَمِّتْ الْآخَرَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا حَمِدَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
English Translation
Mu'tamir ibn Sulayman told us, he said: my father said: Anas ibn Malik told us - I think he said - Two men sneezed in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He blessed one of them - or said "invoked mercy upon him" - and left out the other. It was said [to him]: "Two men sneezed; you blessed one of them and did not bless the other." He said: "This one praised Allah, Mighty and Majestic."
