حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ النَّسَائِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ السُّلَمِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَمَّا قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِمْتُ أُمُورًا مِنْ أُمُورِ الْإِسْلَامِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكَانَ فِيمَا عَلِمْتُ أَنْ قَالَ لِي:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا عَطَسْتَ فَاحْمَدِ اللَّهَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا عَطَسَ الْعَاطِسُ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ فَقُلْ:‏‏‏‏ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا قَائِمٌ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ إِذْ عَطَسَ رَجُلٌ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ رَافِعًا بِهَا صَوْتِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَمَانِي النَّاسُ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ حَتَّى احْتَمَلَنِي ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ مَا لَكُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ بِأَعْيُنٍ شُزْرٍ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَسَبَّحُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنِ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ قِيلَ:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا الْأَعْرَابِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَدَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لِي:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا الصَّلَاةُ لِقِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ وَذِكْرِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَزَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا كُنْتَ فِيهَا فَلْيَكُنْ ذَلِكَ شَأْنُكَ . فَمَا رَأَيْتُ مُعَلِّمًا قَطُّ أَرْفَقَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

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 .
