حَدَّثَنَا الْأُسْتَاذُ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نُعَيْمٍ ثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَا أَنْبَأَ جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ سَالِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ فِي سَفَرٍ فَعَطَسَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَ
سَالِمٌ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أُمِّكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ وَلْيَقُلْ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ وَلْيَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لَنَا وَلَكُمُ الْوَهْمُ فِي رِوَايَةِ جَرِيرٍ هَذِهِ ظَاهِرٌ فَإِنَّ هِلَالَ بْنَ يَسَافٍ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ سَالِمَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ وَلَمْ يَرَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمَا رَجُلٌ مَجْهُولٌ فَأَمَّا اللَّفْظُ الَّذِي وَقَعَ لِبَعْضِ الْفُقَهَاءِ الَّذِي لَا يُمَيِّزُ بَيْنَ صَحِيحِ الْأَخْبَارِ وَسَقِيمِهَا فِي أَمْرِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْعَاطِسُ أَنْ يَقُولَ لِلْمُشَمِّتِ يَهْدِيكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ فَيُوهَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا التَّشْمِيتَ لِأَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ دُونَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

✧ Salim: "Peace be upon you and upon your mother." Then he said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'When one of you sneezes, let him praise Allah, and let those with him say, "May Allah have mercy on you," and let him reply to them, "May Allah forgive us and you."'" The error in this narration of Jarir is apparent, for Hilal b. Yasaf did not meet Salim b. Ubayd nor see him, and between them is an unknown man. As for the wording that some jurists, who do not distinguish between sound and weak reports, have adopted regarding the Prophet's ﷺ instruction to the sneezer to say to the one who responds, "May Allah guide you and set your affairs right," it leads one to suppose that this response is for the People of the Book rather than Muslims.
