a Midray (an iron comb) with which he was scratching his head. the Prophet said, ” Had known you
were looking (through the hole), I would have pierced your eye with it (i.e., the comb).” Verily! The

unlawfully at the state of others). (See Hadith No. 807, Vol. 7)

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
not say Tashmit to me. “The Prophet said, “That man praised Allah, but you did not praise Allah.”
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.”
