حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِذَا عَطَسَ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ أَوْ ثَوْبَهُ عَلَى فِيهِ وَخَفَضَ أَوْ غَضَّ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ. شَكَّ يَحْيَى

When the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sneezed, he placed his hand or a garment on his mouth, and lessened the noise. The transmitter Yahya is doubtful about the exact words khafada or ghadda (lessened).

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর যখন হাঁচি আসতো তখন তিনি হাত বা কাপড় দিয়ে মুখ বন্ধ রাখতেন এবং হাঁচির শব্দ নীচু করতেন।[1] হাসান সহীহ।

ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو جب چھینک آتی تھی تو اپنا ہاتھ یا اپنا کپڑا منہ پر رکھ لیتے اور آہستہ آواز سے چھینکتے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Musaddad] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya] dari [Ibnu Ajlan] dari [Sumay] dari [Abu Shalih] dari [Abu Hurairah] ia berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam jika bersin meletakkan tangan atau kainnya di mulut, lalu beliau menahan, atau beliau meredam suaranya dengannya -Yahya masih merasa ragu

Hazret-i Ebû Hüreyre'den (rivâyet edildiğine göre) Resûlüllah (sallallahü aleyhi ve sellem) aksıracağı zaman elini ya da elbisesinin bir tarafını) yüzüne koyar, (böylece) aksırmayla (çıkan) sesi alçaltır yahut da kısarmış. (Ravi) Yahya (rivâyet ederken " alçaktı ve kıstı" kelimelerinin hangisinin olduğunda) şüpheye düştü. edeb

What it means

Whenever the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) sneezed: First: He would put his hand or garment over his mouth so that nothing would come out of his mouth or nose and hurt those around him. Second: He would lower his voice and not raise it.

What it teaches

  • Demonstrating the Prophet's guidance concerning sneezing and following his example in that.
  • It is recommended to put a garment, tissue paper, or the like over one's mouth and nose when sneezing lest something should come out and hurt those around him.
  • Lowering the voice while sneezing is required and is a sign of perfect manners and noble morals.
