Narrated AbuBurdah:

The Jews used to try to sneezes in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ hoping that he would say to them: "Allah have mercy on you!" but he would say: May Allah guide you and grant you well-being!

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ الدَّيْلَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كَانَتِ الْيَهُودُ تَعَاطَسُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجَاءَ أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهَا يَرْحَمُكُمُ اللَّهُ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ " يَهْدِيكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ " .
