267
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، - الْمَعْنَى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ عَطَسَ رَجُلاَنِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَشَمَّتَ أَحَدَهُمَا وَتَرَكَ الآخَرَ قَالَ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَجُلاَنِ عَطَسَا فَشَمَّتَّ أَحَدَهُمَا - قَالَ أَحْمَدُ أَوْ فَشَمَّتَّ أَحَدَهُمَا - وَتَرَكْتَ الآخَرَ . فَقَالَ " إِنَّ هَذَا حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَإِنَّ هَذَا لَمْ يَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ " .

Anas said:
Two men sneezed in the presence of the prophet (May peace be upon him). He said : Allah have mercy on you! To one and not to the other. He was asked: Messenger of Allah! Two persons sneezed. Ahmad's version has: You invoked a blessing on one of them and left the other. He replied : This man praised Allah, and this man did not praise Allah.
