SNEEZING AND THE DISAPPROVAL OF YAWNING

[saima abdullah]

SNEEZING AND THE DISAPPROVAL OF YAWNING
Muslim: Book 42, Number 7125:

Anas b. Malik reported that two persons sneezed in the presence of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). He (the Messenger of Allah) invoked mercy for one, and did not invoke for the other. The one for whom he had not prayed said: So and so sneezed and you said: May Allah have mercy upon you. I also sneezed but you did not utter these words for me. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: That person praised Allah, and you did not praise Allah.

Book 42, Number 7126:

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Anas through another chain of transmitters.

Book 42, Number 7127:

Abu Burda reported: I visited Abu Musa, as he was in the house of the daughter of Fadl b. 'Abbas. I sneezed but he did not respond to it (by saying): Allah may have mercy upon you. Then she sneezed and he (Fadl b. 'Abbas) said: May Allah have mercy upon you. I came back to my mother and informed her about it, and when he came to her she said: My son sneezed in your presence and you did not say: "Allah may have mercy upon you, and she sneezed and you said for her: "May Allah have mercy upon you." Thereupon he said: Your son sneezed but he did not praise Allah and I did not beg mercy of Allah for him and she sneezed and she praised Allah and so I said: May Allah have mercy upon you, as I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: When any one of you sneezes he should praise Allah and the other should say: May Allah have mercy upon you, and if he does not praise Allah, no mercy should be begged for him.

Book 42, Number 7128:

Iyas b. Salama b. al-Akwa reported that his father reported to him that he heard Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: A person sneezed in his presence and he said to him: May Allah have mercy upon you. And he then sneezed for the second time and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to him: He is suffering from cold (and no response is necessary).

Book 42, Number 7129:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The yawning as from the devil. So when one of you yawns he should try to restrain it as far as it lies in his power.

Book 42, Number 7130:

The son of Abu Said al-Khudri reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: When one of you yawns, he should keep his mouth shut with the help of his hand, for it is the devil that enters therein.

Book 42, Number 7131:

The son of Abu Said al-Khudri reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) 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.

Book 42, Number 7132:

The son of Abu Said al-Khudri reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said. When one of you yawns while engaged in prayer, he should try to restrain so far as it lies in his power, since it is the Satan that enter therein.

Is it a disaproval of yawning ( which is a natural act)? or is it a diapoval of not having the manners to cover you mouth?

 

[saima abdullah]

yawning is sign of laziness. and Islam don't like for a Muslim to be lazy. you will notice when someone is yawning in a gathering it effect on others as will n you cant stop self to yawn. and if you cant stop yourself from it you should cover your mouth. its beauty of Islam it teaches us about anything you think about.

I disagree that yawning is a sign of laziness. It's been scinetificaly proven that yawnig exists so that the brain can cool down and fucntion better. Her is the link to an article explaning more. It even talks about why yawning is contegious.

see i have firm believe in my deen what is forbidden that is surely in my favor... whereas scientific researches are keep on changing one cs they prove one thing while others keep on denying that. its mention in Quran: whatever Rasool (Prophet Mohammad S.A.W) gives you( ask you to adopt) take it and from whatever He S.A.W forbids you stop your self from it (in every condition).Islam is Deen of Creator The All Knowing, its best for us rather creation's incomplete and insufficient knowledge and ideas which are in process and imperfect. rather Allah's knowledge is perfect n complete. its possible that this Hadith would proved to be right in near future , but its not impressive for me i have the most updated knowledge that is reveled 1400 years before by my Creator, He has given me my manual . may Allah guide me n you towards the right path. just one time pray this with true heart please you will get all answers.

I am not interpreting the hadith, this post is about yawning.

Yawning is associated with tiredness, stress, overwork, lack of stimulation, or boredom. Yawning can also be a powerful non-verbal message with several possible meanings, depending on the circumstances. In humans, yawning has an infectious quality (i.e., seeing a person yawning) or just thinking of yawning, can trigger yawning which is a typical example of positive feedback.[3] Infectious yawning has also been noted in chimpanzees.

There are a number of theories that attempt to explain why animals yawn.[4][5] It is likely that there are a number of triggers—not just one—for the behavior. However, there are a few select theories that attempt to explain the primary evolutionary reason for the yawn. None of them have been entirely substantiated, but there are two that many scientists now believe are likely contenders to be the primary trigger for animal yawns. The first states that yawning occurs when one's blood contains increased amounts of carbon dioxide and, therefore, becomes in need of the influx of oxygen that a yawn can provide.[6] Researchers believed this theory to be true for years, but studies have actually shown that it's either incorrect or, at the very least, flawed. [7] Yawning may, in fact, reduce oxygen intake compared to normal respiration, not increase it.[8]

The second notion, which has become the most widely accepted among the theories, states that yawning is the body's way of controlling brain temperature.[9] The process cools off your brain, much like a fan cools the inside of a computer.[10] Another speculated reason for yawning is the desire to stretch one's muscles.[11] Nervousness has also been suggested as a possible reason. There have been studies that suggest that yawning, especially for psychological reasons ("contagious" yawning), may have developed as a way of keeping a group of animals alert.[12] Anecdotal evidence suggests that yawning helps increase the state of alertness of a person—paratroopers have been noted to yawn in the moments before they exit the aircraft.

It hasn't been scinetificaly proven that yawnig exists so that the brain can cool down and fucntion better, it is just a hypothesis (there are atleast 11 others).

Ok I agree that it's not 100% posisble to say why we yawn but even this source show's that yawning it's not because of Laziness. I still think it's a manner thing.

Neither did I say yawning is because of laziness, it could be it could be not, I don't know. Nothing is proven yet, just because the hypothesis does not say it is because of laziness does not mean it could not be.

Personally I don't think so the Hadith is saying that either (it is subject to interpretation). I am open to correction there.

All I said if it is not 100% proven than it is not an established fact.

I know you didn't say that but someone on this thread did which is why the rest of the thread has decended into science lol. It's been good debating with you though
