The Sunnah
The Prophet ﷺ said: "When one of you sneezes, let him say: Al-hamdu lillah (all praise is due to Allah), and let his brother or companion say to him: Yarhamuk-Allah (may Allah have mercy on you). And when he says Yarhamuk-Allah, let him reply: Yahdikum-ullah wa yuslih balakum (may Allah guide you and rectify your condition)."
