Hadith of the week

Abu Ayyub reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, When one of you sneezes, let him say: All praise is due to Allah in every circumstance. Let those respond to him by saying: May Allah have mercy upon you. Let him respond to them by saying: May Allah guide you and amend your affairs.
