One-day he -asws asked me, ‘Where from does sneeze come?
One-day he -asws asked me, ‘Where from does sneeze come?’ I said, ‘It comes out of the nose.’ He said, ‘You have got it wrong.’ I then said, ‘May Allah -azwj keep my soul in service for your -asws cause, from where does it come?’ The Imam -asws said: ‘It comes from the whole body, just as a reproductive seed comes out of the whole body and its exit is through one place.’ The Imam -asws then asked: Have you noted that when one sneezes his whole body moves and a person sneezing is safe from death for seven days.’ [19] Sneezing is a Sign of Truthfulness: عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص تَصْدِيقُ الْحَدِيثِ عِنْدَ الْعُطَاسِ Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni who has reported the following from Abu Abd Allah -asws : ‘The Messenger of Allah -saww has said: ‘Sneezing is a sign of truthfulness.’ [20] عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَتَحَدَّثُ بِحَدِيثٍ فَعَطَسَ عَاطِسٌ فَهُوَ شَاهِدُ حَقٍّ Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni who reported the following from abu Abd Allah -asws : ‘The Messenger of Allah -saww has said, ‘If a man is speaking about something and someone sneezes, this is evidence of the truth.’ [21] Appendix II: The Signs of Allah -azwj القمّيّ مقطوعاً و نسب حديثه في المجمع إلى الباقر عليه السلام و الصادق عليه السلام قال (Tafseer) Qummi – An extract, and he linked his Hadeeth in Al-Majmua to Al-Baqir -asws and Al-Sadiq -asws having said: فَإِنَّهُ لَمَّا سَجَدَ السَّحَرَةُ وَ مَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ مِنَ النَّاسِ- قَالَ هَامَانُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ آمَنُوا بِمُوسَى فَانْظُرْ مَنْ دَخَلَ فِي دِينِهِ فَاحْبِسْهُ- فَحَبَسَ كُلَّ مَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، ‘It was so that when the sorcerers and the ones from the people who believed in him -as prostrated, Haman said to Pharoh -la , ‘The people have believed in Musa -as , therefore look at the ones who enter into his -as Religion and imprison him’.
So he -la imprisoned all the ones from the Children of Israel who believed in him -as .
