Musnad Ahmad 8631

Translation

✧ When one of you sneezes, let him say: Al-hamdu lillah (Praise be to God). When he says: Al-hamdu lillah, his brother says to him: Yarhamuka Allah (May God have mercy on you). When it is said to him: Yarhamuka Allah, let him say: Yahdikum Allah wa yuslihu balakum (May God guide you and set your affairs aright).
