ثَلَاثَةٌ تُرَدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَدَّ الْجَمَاعَةِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ وَاحِداً عِنْدَ الْعُطَاسِ يُقَالُ يَرْحَمُكُمُ اللَّهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُ غَيْرُهُ وَ الرَّجُلُ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ فَيَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ الرَّجُلُ يَدْعُو لِلرَّجُلِ فَيَقُولُ عَافَاكُمُ اللَّهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ وَاحِداً فَإِنَّ مَعَهُ غَيْرَهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Salih Bin Al Sindy, from Ja’far Bin Bashir, from Mansour Bin Hazim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Three would be responded upon by the plural response, and even though it may be one (person only) – during the sneeze it is said, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> have Mercy on you all’, and even if there does not happen to be someone else with him; and the man greets upon the man, so he is saying, ‘The greetings be upon you all’, and the man supplicating for the man, so he is saying, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Grant good health to you all’, and even if he is alone; for there are others (Angels) with him’.
