حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ
بَيْنَا أَنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الصَّلَاةِ إِذْ عَطَسَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَقُلْتُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ قَالَ فَحَدَّقَنِي الْقَوْمُ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ فَقُلْتُ وَا ثُكْلَاهُ مَا لَكُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ؟ قَالَ فَضَرَبَ الْقَوْمُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ عَلَى أَفْخَاذِهِمْ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُمْ يُسْكِتُونَنِي قُلْتُ مَا لَكُمْ تُسْكِتُونَنِي؟ لَكِنِّي سَكَتُّ قَالَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَبِأَبِي هُوَ وَأُمِّي مَا رَأَيْتُ مُعَلِّمًا قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ أَحْسَنَ تَعْلِيمًا مِنْهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا ضَرَبَنِي وَلَا كَهَرَنِي وَلَا سَبَّنِي وَلَكِنْ قَالَ «إِنَّ صَلَاتَنَا هَذِهِ لَا يَصْلُحُ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ كَلَامِ النَّاسِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ التَّسْبِيحُ وَالتَّكْبِيرُ وَتِلَاوَةُ الْقُرْآنِ»

✧ While I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in prayer, a man from the people sneezed, so I said, "May Allah have mercy on you." The people stared at me with their eyes, so I said, "May you be struck and blinded! Why are you looking at me?" They struck their thighs with their hands, and when I saw them silent, I said, "Why are you silencing me? But I remained silent." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished, I swear by my father and mother that I have never seen a better teacher before or after him. By Allah, he did not hit, scold, or insult me, but he said, "Our prayer does not allow anything of the people's talk in it, it is only for glorification (of Allah), Takbeer (Allah is the Greatest), and recitation of the Quran."

ورواه الأوزاعي عن يحيى بن أبي كثير عن هلال بن أبي ميمونة عن عطاء بن يسار عن معاوية بن الحكم قال قلت يا رسول الله إنا كنا حديثي عهد بجاهلية فجاء الله بالإسلام وإن رجالا منا يتطيرون وذكر الخبر في الطيرة وفي إتيان الكهان وفي الخط وفي كلامهم في الصلاة
machine translationAl-Awzāʿī narrated it from Yaḥyā b. Abī Kathīr, from Hilāl b. Abī Maymūnah, from ʿAṭāʾ b. Yasār, from Muʿāwiyah b. al-Ḥakam, who said: "I said: O Messenger of Allah, we were recently out of the Jāhiliyyah, then Allah brought Islam, and some men among us practice omen-taking (taṭayyur)." And he mentioned the report concerning omens (ṭiyarah), going to soothsayers, drawing lines (khaṭṭ), and speaking during the prayer.
