turned.” (When ‘Umar came to know about it) he said to Abu Musa, “Why did you not enter?’. Abu
Musa replied, “I asked permission three times, and I was not given it, so I returned, for Allah’s Apostle
said, “If anyone of you asks the permission to enter thrice, and the permission is not given, then he
should return.’ ” ‘Umar said, “By Allah! We will ask Abu Musa to bring witnesses for it.” (Abu Musa
went to a gathering of the Ansar and said). “Did anyone of you hear this from the Prophet ?” Ubai bin
Ka’b said, “By Allah, none will go with you but the youngest of the people (as a witness).” (Abu Said)
was the youngest of them, so I went with Abu Musa and informed ‘Umar that the Prophet had said
so. (See Hadith No. 277, Vol. 3)

Two men sneezed before the Prophet and he said Tashmit to one of them, while he did not say
Tashmit to the other. So that man said, “O Allah’s Apostle! You said Tashmit to that fellow but you did

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 245:
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.”
