Tashmit to the other. So that man said, “O Allah’s Apostle! You said Tashmit to that fellow but you did

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “Allah loves sneezing but dislikes yawning; so if anyone of you sneezes and then
praises Allah, every Muslim who hears him (praising Allah) has to say Tashmit to him. But as regards
yawning, it is from Satan, so if one of you yawns, he should try his best to stop it, for when anyone of
you yawns, Satan laughs at him.”

ings of entering Paradise.” Behold! It was ‘Umar. So I opened the gate for him and gave him the glad
tidings of entering Paradise. Then another man came and asked permission to enter.
