Hadith on Dua: Praise Allah in all situations after sneezing

Nafi’ reported: A man sneezed beside Ibn Umar, saying, “All praise is due to Allah and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah!” Ibn Umar said, “I also say all praise is due to Allah and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah, but this is not what the Messenger of Allah taught us, peace and blessings be upon him. Rather, the Prophet taught us to say: All praise is due to Allah in every circumstance.”

عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا عَطَسَ إِلَى جَنْبِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَلَيْسَ هَكَذَا عَلَّمَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَّمَنَا أَنْ نَقُولَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ
