Chapter 100: How many times should one say "May Allah have mercy on you" to one who sneezes? - كتاب الأدب

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ شَمِّتْ أَخَاكَ ثَلاَثًا فَمَا زَادَ فَهُوَ زُكَامٌ ‏.‏

Narrated AbuHurayrah:

Respond three times to your brother when he sneezes, and if he sneezes more often, he has a cold in his head.
