96. What is said to Whoever Sneezes Three Times
Back to book3-124 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله البرقي، عن أبيه، عن وهب بن منبه، عن جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه عليهما السلام إن عليا عليه السلام قال: يسمت العاطس ثلاثا فما فوقها فهو ريح
3-124 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Ahmad ibn Aba Abdullah al-Barqy, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Wahab ibn Monbat, on the authority of Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (MGB), on the authority of his father (MGB) that Ali (MGB) said, “They say ‘Yarhamakumullah to one who sneezes three times. Any more sneezing is due to the air.”
3-125 وفي حديث آخر: أنه إن زاد العاطس على ثلاث قيل له: "شفاك الله" لان ذلك من علة
3-125 In another tradition we read, “If one sneezes for more than three times they tell him, ‘May God heal you!’ since that is due to an illness.”
