Manners-Ill Gathering Sneezing Yawning
“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)
THE ETIQUETTE OF SNEEZING AND YAWNING
Indeed Allah loves sneezes but hates yawns.
When one sneezes, one should say: ALHAMDULILLAH (All praise be to Allah) In reply to this, the one who hears should say: YARHAMU-KALLAH (May God have mercy on you)The person who had sneezed must reply by saying: YAHDEE KUMULLAHU WA YUSLIH BAALAKUM (May Allah guide you and grant you well-being).
cover the face with hands or with a piece of cloth (handkerchief) so that the sound of the sneeze would be stifled.
A Muslim should not seek to refrain or prevent a sneeze; it is a healthy function.
It is right to invoke a blessing on one who sneezes at the most three times. If he sneezes more often, this probably means he has a cold.
If a Muslim sneezes and forgets to praise God, then it is the duty of Muslims near him to remind him kindly of his duty to thank God.
When yawning hold the hand over the mouth.
Try not to make any sound when yawning, as the full opening of the mouth allows Shaytaan to enter it.
one should not make any sound during yawning, as this pleases Shaytaan.
THE ETIQUETTE OF VISITING THE ILL
If a pious person falls ill, then his status is elevated and if a sinner falls ill then his sins are forgiven.
iyaadat is sunnah and shows human kindness ( it is a means of earning Sawaab and also you will gain garden in paradise) angels will pray visiting person.
if a person makes fresh Wudhu and intends to visit an ill person only for Sawaab, then he is kept away from Hell as far as the distance of a 70 year journey.
It is also Sunnah to allow the sick person to eat whatever he desires( those which will not harm his condition).
When visiting a sick person, one should not be rowdy, unpleasant or unkind.
Do not visit the sick person for a long period. You should make Du’a and then take leave.
When visiting the sick also ask the sick person to make Du’a for you since their Du’as are readily accepted.
One should show love and sympathy while visiting ill by keep your hand over the patients head and make dua saying o allah heal so and so or say7 times: Asalullaah al-‘Adheem, Rubb al-‘Arsh il-‘Adheem an yashfiyak( inshaalaah allah will cure the patient)
