Narrated Abu Huraira(may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah likes sneezing and dislikes yawning, so if someone sneezes and then praises Allah, then it is obligatory on every Muslim who heard him, to say: May Allah be merciful to you (Yar-hamuka-l-lah). But as regards yawning, it is from Satan, so one must try one's best to stop it, if one says 'Ha' when yawning, Satan will laugh at him." Sahih al-Bukhari 6223 In-book reference : Book 78, Hadith 247 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 8, Book 73, Hadith 242 The son of Abu Said al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: When one of you yawns, he should try to restrain it with cue help of his hand since it is the Satan that enters therein. Sahih Muslim 2995 b In-book reference : Book 55, Hadith 75 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 42, Hadith 7131
