عَطَسَ رَجُلٌ نَصْرَانِيٌّ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ لَهُ الْقَوْمُ هَدَاكَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقُولُوا يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ فَقَالُوا لَهُ إِنَّهُ نَصْرَانِيٌّ فَقَالَ لَا يَهْدِيهِ اللَّهُ حَتَّى يَرْحَمَهُ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from one of his companions, from Ibn Abu Najran, from one of our companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘A Christian man sneezed in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>. So the people said to him, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Guide you’. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘You should be saying, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> have Mercy on you’’. So they said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘He is a Christian’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> will not Guide him until He<sup>azwj</sup> has Mercy on him’.
