Sneezing brings a person the blessing of relief by releasing vapours that were trapped in the head which, if they were to remain there, would cause him pain and sickness. For this reason, Islam tells him to praise Allaah for this blessing and for the fact that his body is still intact after this jolt that shook him like an earthquake… for sneezing causes a disturbing movement in the body… It was said (concerning the origin of the word “tashmeet” [which is translated here as “saying ‘yarhamuk Allaah’, but the original meaning is to tell someone to rejoice at another’s ‘misfortune’]): this is telling him to feel joyful because he has annoyed the Shaytaan by praising Allaah for the blessing of sneezing and its association with things that Allaah likes.

When a person mentions Allaah and praises Him, this annoys the Shaytaan in several ways, for example: the act of sneezing itself, which Allaah likes; his praising Allaah for it; the Muslims praying for mercy for him; and his prayer for them to be guided. All of this annoys the Shaytaan and makes him upset, so the believer is told to rejoice over this annoyance of his enemy.

Praying for mercy for the one who sneezes is called tashmeet because it implies that he should rejoice over the annoyance of his enemy. This is a good meaning which people should bear in mind when they sneeze or say ‘yarhamuk Allaah’ to one who sneezes, and they should appreciate the blessing of sneezing for the body and mind, and understand why Allaah likes it. Praise be to Allaah as is His due for He is the Most Generous and Majestic.

Different forms of the sneezer praising Allaah and responding to the one who says “May Allaah have mercy on you” have been narrated.

Al-Bukhaari (6224) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When one of you sneezes, let him say, ‘Al-hamdu-Lillaah (Praise be to Allaah),’ and let his brother or companion say to him. ‘Yarhamuk Allaah (May Allaah have mercy on you).’ If he says, ‘Yarhamuk-Allaah,’ then let (the sneezer) say, ‘Yahdeekum Allaah wa yuslihu baalakum (May Allaah guide you and rectify your condition).’”

Imam al-Bukhaari narrated in al-Adab al-Mufrad (5033) from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When one of you sneezes, let him say, ‘Al-hamdu-Lillaah ‘ala kulli haal (Praise be to Allaah in all situations),’ and let his brother or companion say to him, ‘Yarhamuk Allaah (May Allaah have mercy on you).’ If he says, ‘Yarhamuk-Allaah,’ then let (the sneezer say, ‘Yahdeekum Allaah wa yuslihu baalakum (May Allaah guide you and rectify your condition).’”

Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

Abu Dawood (5031) and al-Tirmidhi (2740) narrated that Saalim ibn ‘Ubayd (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When one of you sneezes, let him say, ‘Al-hamdu-Lillaah Rabb il-‘Aalameen (Praise be to Allaah the Lord of the Worlds),’ and let the one who responds to him say, ‘Yarhamuk Allaah (May Allaah have mercy on you),’ and let him say, ‘Yaghfir Allaahu lana wa lakum (May Allaah have mercy on us and you.”

Classed as da’eef by al-Albaani in Da’eef Abi Dawood. But he classed it as saheeh in Saheeh al-Adab al-Mufrad (715) with a mawqoof isnaad that stopped at ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him).

It was narrated that Abu Hamzah said: I heard Ibn ‘Abbaas saying when someone said ‘Yarhamuk Allaah (May Allaah have mercy on you)’ to him: “ ‘Aafaana Allaah wa iyyaakum min al-naar, yarhamukum Allaah (May Allaah save us and you from the Fire; may Allaah have mercy on you).”

Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Adab al-Mufrad, 955.

Maalik narrated in al-Muwatta’ (1800) from Naafi’ that if ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) sneezed and it was said to him, “Yarhamuk Allaah (may Allaah have mercy on you),’ he would say, “Yarhamuna Allaahu wa iyyaakum wa yaghfir lana wa lakum (may Allaah have mercy on us and you, may He forgive us and you).”

Al-Nawawi said in Sharh Muslim:

Al-Qaadi said: The scholars differed as to how one should praise Allaah or respond, and there are varying reports concerning that. It was said that he should say, “Al-hamdu Lillaah (praise be to Allaah)”, or “Al-hamdu-Lillaah Rabb il-‘Aalameen (Praise be to Allaah the Lord of the Worlds)”, or “Al-hamdu-Lillaah ‘ala kulli haal (Praise be to Allaah in all situations)”. Ibn Jareer said: He has the choice between all of these. This is the correct view, but they are agreed that he is enjoined to praise Allaah.

He said: And they differed as to how the sneezer is to respond to the one who says “Yarhamuk Allaah.” It was said that he should say, “Yahdeekum Allaah wa yuslihu baalakum (May Allaah guide you and rectify your condition),” or that he should say, “Yaghfir Allaahu lana wa lakum (May Allaah forgive us and you).” Maalik and al-Shaafa’i said: He has the choice between these two options. This is the correct view, and the ahaadeeth which mention them are saheeh. End quote

Conclusion: The phrases used to praise Allaah have been narrated in various forms:

Al-hamdu Lillaah (praise be to Allaah)

Al-hamdu-Lillaah ‘ala kulli haal (Praise be to Allaah in all situations)

Al-hamdu-Lillaah Rabb il-‘Aalameen (Praise be to Allaah the Lord of the Worlds)

<b>The phrases used to pray for mercy for the sneezer have also been narrated in various forms:<\b>

Yahdeekum Allaah wa yuslihu baalakum (May Allaah guide you and rectify your condition)

Yaghfir Allaahu lana wa lakum (May Allaah forgive us and you)

‘Aafaana Allaah wa iyyaakum min al-naar, yarhamukum Allaah (May Allaah save us and you from the Fire; may Allaah have mercy on you)

Yarhamuna Allaahu wa iyyaakum wa yaghfir lana wa lakum (may Allaah have mercy on us and you, may He forgive us and you)

All of these are saheeh and the Muslim may choose whichever of them he wants.

And Allaah knows best.

Since when did sneezing become associated with islam?

If anything when u sneeze & someone says bless u.

This started from the whites & the whites are Christians.

Please dont think allah & God of the bible are the same they are very very different.

The God of the bible commands to love ur wife.

ephesians 5:25 (KJV)
Husbands, LOVE YOUR WIVES,
even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;


Colossians 3:19
Husbands, LOVE YOUR WIVES,
and
BE NOT BITTER AGAINST THEM.

allah say's men are to beat their wives

Qur'an (38:44) -
"And take in your hand a green branch
AND BEAT HER WITH IT,"

Qur'an (4:34) -
" Men are the maintainers of women because
Allah has made some of them to
....... BEAT THEM;

Imams even teach u to beat ur wife!

So please they are different.

According to history, Islam and the prophet came before the whites and saying a blessing on whoever sneezes has been in existence since then. If you read those Hadiths 'properly' you'd not have typed that.

Secondly on wife beating the problem with you lots is that because of unnecessary hate you always decide to leave somethings out and another foolish person will just read and digest the nonsense you have typed.
The first thing is dialogue, admonishment and trying to solve it amicably. If the wife continues to do what's not. The husband should leave the matrimonial bed/room so the wife would at least feel a sense of guilt. And if she doesn't come through after all this beat . That's the text of Qur'an in Qur'an 4 v 34. The beating in that verse has also been interpreted by scholars to mean never hit in the face and it must not hurt. Also it must be done very lightly using an object like siwak which means 'chewing stick'

Other relevant authorities include an Hadith which said the Prophet forbids anyone from hitting a woman and like what that man said in that video 'it's just a way of trying to preserve the marriage'

Finally, if only Men knew the kind of blessings that are attached to treating their wives well��, there are plethoras of authorities on this but Human beings or men sha by nature just don't do them

Let me list a few of them for you��

1 – The Qur’aan enjoins good treatment of one's wife: she is to be honoured and treated kindly, even when one no longer feels love in one's heart towards her. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“and live with them honourably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allaah brings through it a great deal of good”

[al-Nisa’ 4:19] 

2. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) enjoined kind treatment and honouring of one’s wife, and he described the best of people as those who are best to their wives. He said: “The best of you are those who are the best to their wives, and I am the best of you to my wives.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 3895; Ibn Maajah, 1977; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi. 


3. You even get rewarded by putting a morsel of food in her mouth�� – The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) spoke beautiful word concerning kind treatment of one’s wife, stating that when the husband feeds his wife and puts a morsel of food in her mouth, he earns the reward of doing an act of charity. He said, “You never spend anything but you will be rewarded for it, even the morsel of food that you lift to your wife’s mouth.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6352; Muslim, 1628.

These super confused Xtians are envious of Islam. Islam is the ONLY religion that tells how to do everything & I mean everything. Nothing is left out in the Qur'an unlike the so-called Bible that leaves it's adherents in a state of confusion and guess work. Is it surprising that Xtian intellectuals are embracing Islam daily while some are turning to Atheism? They can't bear the confusion that characterised Xtianity. Only in Xtianity 1+1+1 can still be 1. This doesn't make a slightest sense. Or you find a so-called "God" who coudn't save himself let alone saving others. Or another "God" whose "only begotten son" is left to be humiliated and crucified? Xtianity is simply Paganism. Is it surprising that Xmas is nowhere to be found in the Bible?

All this trash talk simply because of a semi-autonomous, convulsive expulsion of air from the lungs through the nose and mouth, usually caused by foreign particles irritating the nasal mucosa? Wow

i thank God for freedom of religion and freedom from religion.
