Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks: Is there a report that after the third sneeze, one should say to the sneezer, "May Allah heal you"?

Answer:
The prescribed action upon hearing a sneezer sneeze and praise Allah is to respond to him unconditionally, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
When one of you sneezes, he should say, 'Praise be to Allah.' When he says, 'Praise be to Allah, ' his brother or companion should say to him, 'May Allah have mercy on you.'إذا عطس فليقل الحمد لله، وإذا قال وقال الحمد لله فليقل له يرحمك الله،
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 927
In the other wording, it was an obligation upon everyone who heard him to say to him, "May Allah have mercy on you." If he heard him say, "May Allah have mercy on you," until he heard him praise Allah, whether it was the third, fourth, or fifth time.
