Hadees - Replying to One who sneezes

As a right one Muslim enjoys over another, one should reply to the
person who sneezes.
Hadhrat Anas Bin Malik (رضى الله تعالى عنه) narrates that two people
sneezed in the presence of Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم). He replied
to one and not the other.The one who did not get the reply of
Yar-Hamukullah said: "So and so sneezed and you replied but you did
not do so when I sneezed?" The Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم)
replied: "He said "Alhumdulillah" whilst you failed to say
Alhumdulillah." [Muslim]
One of the etiquettes of sneezing is that the sound should be stilted
and the nose covered. This ensures that one's companion are not
annoyed if anything comes out of his nose. In the event of any food or
person before him, one should turn his face awayand sneeze to prevent
the particles that emergefrom sneezing from falling onto the food or
person before him.
Whenever our beloved Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم sneezed, he would
cover his face with his hands or with a piece of cloth, so that
thesound of the sneeze could not be heard too loudly. [Tirmidhi]
Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (رضى الله تعالى عنه) said: I heard Allah 's
messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) say, "When one of you sneezes and
praises Allah, invoke a blessing on him, but if hedoes not praise
Allah do not invoke a blessing on him." [Muslim]
