Response to Sneezing

27ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَسِّنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِذَا عَطَسَ الرَّجُلُ ثَلاثاً فَسَمِّتْهُ ثُمَّ اتْرُكْهُ.
27. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhsin ibn Ahmad from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from Zurara from abu Ja’far عليه السلام who has said the following: “If one sneezes three times, the special expressions for this purpose should be said only up to three times and thereafter should be left alone.”
