Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from Mu‘alla’ abu ‘Uthman from abu Basir who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘In Salah (prayer) I hear sneezing, can I then praise Allah and say, “O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause?” 5 He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, when your brother (in belief) sneezes while you are in Salah (prayer) say, “All praise belongs to Allah.

O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause; even if there is an ocean between you and your friend, say, ‘O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause.” 5 ” وثق - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (15/241))
