Riyad as-Salihin: Book 5, Hadith 40

Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Jews used to intentionally sneeze in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) hoping that he would say to them: ‘Yarhamukum-ullah (may Allah have mercy on you),’ but he would respond with: “Yahdikum-ullahu wa yuslihu balakum (may Allah guide you and render sound your state of affairs).”.

وعن أبي موسي رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ كان اليهود يتعاطسون عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يرجون أن يقول لهم‏:‏ يرحمكم الله، فيقول‏:‏ ‏”‏‏”‏يهديكم الله ويصلح بالكم‏”‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود، والترمذي وقال‏:‏ حديث حسن صحيح‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
