11ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِذَا عَطَسَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَرْحَمُكَ الله قَالَ يَغْفِرُ الله لَكُمْ وَيَرْحَمُكُمْ وَإِذَا عَطَسَ عِنْدَهُ إِنْسَانٌ قَالَ يَرْحَمُكَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.


11. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Sa’d ibn abu Khalaf who has said the following: “Whenever Abu Ja’ far (a.s) would sneeze in response it was said, ‘May Allah be kind to you,’ and he would say, ‘May Allah grant you forgiveness and be kind to you. ’ When anyone sneezed in his presence he would say, ‘May Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, grant you forgiveness.’”
