Muawiyah bin al-Hakam al-Sulami said ; when I came to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم I learnt many things about islam. One of the things that I was taught was that it was that it was pointed out me. When you sneeze, praise Allah (I, e, say “praise be to Allah”); and when someone sneezes and praises Allah, say “ May Allah have mercy on you. Meanwhile I was standing along with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم during prayer, all of a sudden a man sneezed, and he praised Allah. So I said, “may Allah have mercy on you”, in a loud voice. The people gave me disapproving looks so much so that I took ill of it. So I said: what do you mean by looking at me with furtive glances. Then they glorified Allah. When the prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم finished his prayer, he asked; who was the speaker? The Prophet told him; this Bedouin. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم called me and said to me: Prayer is meant for the recitation of the Quran, and making mention of Allah. When you are in it (prayer), this should be your work therein. I never saw an instructor more lenient than the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم
